Searching for a patter
I am trying to search for a pattern as follow

configuration ... of ... is
where ... could be any name (so ... represent the don't CARE pattern)
i do the following

sed 's/configuration ... of ... is/ somethingelse/'

I was wondering how I could represent the don't care pattern in the above case.
