working on interactive ftp script
saving log and want to remove the password from log
so
"quote PASS foofoo"
would become
"quote PASS XXXXXXX"
replacing or removing the password is of no matter
have tried several sed commands but have only been successful with character matching not pattern
thanks

what exactly have you tried and failed?
various attempts now trying to work with
sed s/PASS[^PASS]*$//
as a starting point
it will do in a pinch but really what i want
never mind
sed s/[^PASS]*$//
works
needed to get my thoughts right
thanks

correction
sed s/PASS.*$/'PASS XXXXXXX'/
apologies
example follows:
[ppaprota@pettallc ~]$
echo "quote PASS hidemypass" | sed s/'quote PASS.*$'/'quote PASS XXXXXXX'/
quote PASS XXXXXXX
[ppaprota@pettallc ~]$
