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 ?

How about
"s/ OF .* $//"
or
"s/ OF [A-Za-z][A-Za-z]* $//"

I guess you could pass the pseudo code in as a variable too:
"s/ OF $STRING $//"
