alter password for an expired oracle ID noninteractively

Hello

We have oracle 11G and 12C in our environment and I am trying to see if there is a way to alter an expired password via a script

I am trying to use this

cat <<EOF | sqlplus ID/"RRR!rrrdjkfjfhjfhfh99999"@DB

ERErjrjr191919r1

ERErjrjr191919r1

exit

EOF

RRR!rrrdjkfjfhjfhfh99999 is the current password and ERErjrjr191919r1 is the new one. When I run this script however I am getting an error

SP2-0650: New passwords do not match

even though the lines are identical.  Does anyone have a way to fix it or is the only way to accomplish that is by manually entering the new password twice?

Howdy, Stranger!
