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.

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

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

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

my following regex is matching  "RDPword=jsndksjs834u935=PDUserId=jsndksjs834u935=PDPword=jsndksjs834u935"

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=([^=]+)
