How to remove string from the json response

Question

I'm receiving a response like this:

/*-secure-{"errors":["Runtime: Adapter 'DemoAdapter' does not exist"],"isSuccessful":false,"warnings":[],"info":[]}*/

But I only want the JSON data from the response. Like this:

{
 "errors":       ["Runtime: Adapter 'DemoAdapter' does not exist"],
 "isSuccessful": false,
 "warnings":     [],
 "info":         []
}

How do I remove the /*-secure- from the start and */ from the end of the response.

Json can't have comment, where did you get response like that? — xdazz

@xdazz: It's probably there to prevent people from stealing the JSON ;) — gen_Eric

the same groups of people can or can't steal the JSON with or without the comments. So comments do nothing. Surely IBM would know this, awesome client-side devs that they are... — dandavis

Should be a simple replace:

var resp = <string>;
resp = resp.replace(/^\/\*\-secure\-\n/, '').replace(/\*\/$/, '');

in string how can i pass the whole string. "/*-secure-{"errors":["Runtime: Adapter 'DemoAdapter' does not exist"],"isSuccessful":false,"warnings":[],"info":[]}*/". each json object has double codes(").

Try escaping it: "here is a \"quote\"."

I got the answer:

var str = '/*-secure-{"errors":["Runtime: Adapter "DemoAdapte" does not exist"],"isSuccessful":false,"warnings":[],"info":[]}*/';
var res = str.substring(10,str .length-2);

syntax is like this.

var str = data;
var res = str.substring(10,str .length-2);

where data is whatever string u get the response.
