I need to match highlights in green "RDPword=jsndksjs834u935", and "PDPword=jsndksjs834u935"

I am using regex this matching the following which I don't want it match  "PDUserId=jsndksjs834u935="

If you just want a regex which you can use with SEDCMD, just match each part separately and substitute with nothing. And you can use the same match several times to match and substitute all matching strings.

Like

s/[RP]DPword=[^=]+//g

Regex is very case-sensitive.  This matches the sample event.

RDPword=([^=]+)=PDUserId=([^=]+)=PDPword=([^=]+)

I want to exclude follwing "=PDUserId=jsndksjs834u935=" how do I modify the this rex to not match =PDUserId=jsndksjs834u935=
RDPword=([^=]+)=PDUserId=([^=]+)=PDPword=([^=]+)

RDPword=([^=]+)=PDUserId=([^=]+)=PDPword=([^=]+)
