to add to the previous replies, you can use capture groups to back reference parts of the matched text i.e.
if you search for "user"
let newText = yourText.replace(/^((\"user\")(:".*")(.*))$/gm, '"removed"$3$4' );
if you search for "1232"
let newText = yourText.replace(/^((\".*\")(:"1232")(.*))$/gm, '"removed"$3$4' );
