This works. But on my real dataset, I still have a problem.

The problem is that I need

Code:
sed -E -e "s/ord[^[:space:]]+//g" file.txt

With "ord" to work, too. So it needs to be "wild carded" at the beginning of the word to work, too.

In my "real" dataset, my column has something more like this to be flagged whenever there is Ford

Code:
1998 Ford Mustang
1996 Ford Festiva

---------- Post updated at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous update was at 07:15 PM ----------

And when I use this

Code:
sed -E -e "s/.*ord[^[:space:]]+//g" file.txt

It deletes EVERYTHING before Ford. I only need that particular column cell replaced.

fs_getcellstatus

FS_GETCELLSTATUS(1)					       AFS Command Reference					       FS_GETCELLSTATUS(1)

NAME

       fs_getcellstatus - Reports whether setuid programs are honored in a cell

SYNOPSIS

       fs getcellstatus -cell <cell name>+ [-help]

       fs getce -c <cell name>+ [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The fs getcellstatus command reports whether the Cache Manager allows programs fetched from each specified cell to run with setuid
       permission. To set a cell's setuid status, use the fs setcell command; fs_setcell(1) fully describes how AFS treats setuid programs.

OPTIONS

       -cell <cell name>+
	   Names each cell for which to report setuid status. Provide the fully qualified domain name, or a shortened form that disambiguates it
	   from the other cells listed in the local /etc/openafs/CellServDB file.

       -help
	   Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

OUTPUT

       The output reports one of the following two values as appropriate:

	  Cell <cell> status: setuid allowed
	  Cell <cell> status: no setuid allowed

EXAMPLES

       The following example indicates that programs from the cell "abc.com" are not allowed to run with setuid permission.

	  % fs getcellstatus abc.com
	  Cell abc.com status: no setuid allowed

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       None
