tokens in unix ?
im trying to remove all occurences of " OF xyz " in a file where xyz could be any word assuming xyz is the last word on the line but I won't always be.

at the moment I have sed 's/OF.*//'

but I want a nicer solution which could be in pseudo code


sed 's/OF.* (next token)//'


Is that possible ?

sed -e 's/ OF [^ ][^ ]* $//g' file

thanks for response but didn't do the job

for example : OF CRSTCBU1011A-REC TESTING

I want "OF CRSTCBU1011A-REC " to be removed but still keep the word TESTING and but your code removed that word as well


Any ideas ?

Should there be any spaces on that line of code ? I didnt leave any spaces.
sed -e 's/OF[^][^]*$//g'

It's untested, but I think this should work:
Code:
sed -e 's/OF [^ ]*[ $]//g'
