My command is like below:

-bash-3.2$ sed -i '/*pax1.csv:BW-CDR/BW-CDR/g' pax1.csv
sed: -e expression #1, char 15: unknown command: `B'
-bash-3.2$ sed -i '/*pax1.csv:BW/BW-CDR/g' pax1.csv

I think you mean s/a/b/g or the like.

Those lines are extremely long. You may not be able to match them unless you are using GNU sed.

step 1: use linux.

So you're probably OK.

/g (multiple substitution attempts per line) is certainly not needed.
The * is crappy. Perhaps it is treated as a literal character that does not match here.
.* means any number of characters (to be matched and substituted).
Perhaps you want to replace the pax1.csv: before the BW-CDR

sed -i 's/pax1.csv:BW-CDR/BW-CDR/' pax1.csv
