Serial Json read from HTTP reques to String

Hello, I'm using a weather api to get the weather conditions. I used an example from the internet to get te data from the web, this data looks like this in the serial monitor:
client readString test 11/04/13
Send an e in serial monitor to test
connected
client disconnected.
Data from server captured in readString:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

End of readString

this data is put in to a string called "readString", now I want to edit this string with the second function, this is where I get stuck.The function won't get executed on the String. Can it be because it's JSON encoded? Can someone give a hint to a piece of code or the piece itself, so I can use the string to use the second function? This would be very handy! Thanks in advance!

This post bears a remarkable similarity to replace function after a http request - Microcontrollers - Arduino Forum

  1. You should use code tags when posting code
  2. This topic would get more attention in the forum "Programming Questions".

I suggest you use the "Report to moderator" hotspot under the post and get it moved

the json string is incomplete.
use ArduinoJson library to parse a json string.
