Probably my brain is not functioning correctly today, something that is very bad given the poor condition it normally is, but, if you already have an index on the field, let's call it cField, you can just do:
lcSpaces = Space(Len(cField))
scan for cField > lcSpaces
...
endscan
or
locate for cField > lcSpaces
scan rest
endscan
The > operator is rushmore optimizable, so it should be OK
