This will work with some (GNU) versions of sed:
$ echo "for forward"|sed 's/\<for\>/XXX/g'
XXX forward

echo "for forward"|sed 's/for /XXX /g'
Thats substitute for + the space with XXX + the space

echo "for forwarded" | sed 's/for/www/'
will give u www forwarded.remove the trailing g character.

That won't work on all the words in the input line and will wrongly match longer
words that contain "for" if they appear earlier in the line. Read the previous
responses in the thread for the solution (and, just a suggestion, but in future
it's worth reading the previous responses before posting yours...).
