Replacing a pattern with a variable

Comment:
I need to replace anything immediately after the pattern "standard01/" in a file with the value of a variable I don't know the length of the characters stored in that variable. - that might vary. I know there is some string after the pattern "standard01/", i don't know the what the string is or the length of it. but i know after that string following "standard01/", there is blank space and after that a word called "buf" in that file
So, the string following the pattern "standard01/" for example looks like "special_previlege_datetime.lst" followed by a space and then a string begins with "buf" - when in the process of replacing the value of the variable right after the above pattern "standard01/" - i should not start overwriting the next string "buf" - in other words i should try to replace/write the value of the variable starting immediately after "standard01/" and before the next word "buf" begins.
Please provide your advice. Your help is greatly apprecitaed. Thanks
