I have this long string, "The words Text and dots represent whole bunch of html code"

Input:

TextTextTextTextTextTextTextText....."signed_request" value="Random Value" />TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText.....

How do i match all the text before and after the string "signed_request" value="Random Value" but not the string itself, considering the random value between the quotation marks, so it would output

Output: TextTextTextTextTextTextTextText...../>TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText.....

    Does the string change or stay consistent? If consistent, can you not just do a simple replace of that substring? On another note, if this is **HTML**, use a parser for this task. – hwnd Aug 06 '15 at 19:31
  • It's a facebook html response when launching an app. Some values do change, just like the signed request. – Rafat Mahmoud Aug 06 '15 at 19:34

  • I'm trying to replace all the code before and after this "signed_request" value="Random Value" with blank which will leave me with the signed request only – Rafat Mahmoud Aug 06 '15 at 19:42
