How to get a space counter before the beginning of a line

Question

How do you get the number of spaces before the start of a line in ColdFusion?

I mean, I have a line like this "Hello World!"

I want to get the number of spaces (in this case 3) before the word "Hello" begins.

I'm not very familiar with ColdFusion, but by looking at this API you can get the result you need:

Len(str) - Len(LTrim(str))

But maybe there is a better solution :)
