Replacing from match to end-of-line

Question

This should be incredibly easy but I can t get it to work   I just want to use sed to replace from one string to the end of a line   For example if I have the following data file      one  two  three  five    four two  five five six    six  one  two seven four   and I want to replace from the word  two  through the end of the line with the word  BLAH  ending up with the output      one BLAH    four BLAH    six one BLAH   wouldn t that just be        sed -e  s two   BLAH g    I m not the best at regex to maybe that s the problem

This should do what you want   sed  s two   BLAH      echo     one  two  three  five  gt     four two  five five six  gt     six  one  two seven four    sed  s two   BLAH      one  BLAH    four BLAH    six  one  BLAH   The   is unnecessary because the    will finish at the end of the line anyways  and the g at the end is unnecessary because your first match will be the first two to the end of the line
