Isolate JSON String in HTTP Reponse from other data

Question

I query a PHP script on the server returning some php echos.

The snippet below is a JSON Fragment:

 {"cid":"212"}

The whole output has some HTML fragments

<br>Order posted 214 - 192.168.1.22:4444 <br>{"cid":"214"}

What is the easiest way to filter the JSON part out of the rest ?

I know that it would be easier to kill all the other output, but still I would love to find a quick solution for this scenario.

Thx for the idea with the regex

   Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\\{(.*?)\\}");
   Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(text);
    while (matcher.find())
      {
        System.out.println(matcher.group(0));                                  
      }
