Remove carriage return from json text - c++

Question

I get json text returned from an api call and I run it trough a script JSON Serialization and Deserialization from here https://www.mql5.com/en/code/13663.
My issue is that it only process the first few parts of the json because of what I believe to a linebreak/carriage inside the json structure. I dont get any error message, just an array containing everything before that line break.
I dont want to remove the line breaks inside the text fields in the json, only the returns inside the json structure. It is in the place each time just after {"ok":true,"result":[{"update_id":568022212,
Here is a full section
{"ok":true,"result":[{"update_id":568022212,
"channel_post":{"message_id":436,"chat":{"id":-1001436032340,"title":"FORTUNA","type":"channel"},"date":1588899840,"reply_to_message":{"message_id":372,"chat":{"id":-1001436032340,"title":"FORTUNA","type":"channel"},"date":1588838583,"text":"A\nGbpusd buy now 1.2360\nSl 1.2280 \nTp open\n","entities":[{"offset":52,"length":11,"type":"mention"}]},"text":"A\n42 pips bookd close\ud83d\udfe2\ud83d\udfe2"}},{"update_id":568022213,

I tried to use the same library, it seems to have a bug with parsing arrays. That is why I used https://www.mql5.com/en/code/11134. It has a disadvantage: you need to delete all the objects, unfortunately; as a result there's plenty of code. But at least it works.
Seems your json has incorrect format, I used to cut it a little.
