I need the sed syntax that searches for a pattern, but only changes those patterns that don't have a space after the = sign... for instance; this is file1.cgf:

Now, I need to be able to change whatever day that comes after the uncommented "today=" at the end of the file to Saturday, but ignore the first "today= (this can be...blah)" since it has a space after the = sign.

I have got this so far to ignore the space, but it ignores the "today=Monday" as well.

...and if I do this:

I get this:

and I need it to be:

Keep in mind that it might not always be the last instance that I need replaced and there might be multiple "today=Monday" in the file... I just need to change anything that doesn't have a space after the = sign.

Thanks.
