The string is what's held/saved in one field of the client's old database table when a PayPal transaction took place. The field is called paypal_response and it's a TEXT type.

They've asked me to port over old orders into their new system which is an absolute ball-ache, but that's what they've asked for.

I am looking for a way to strip out just the data I need to for the new table.
