Unable to run the script

Problem:

When I try, to run the script, I get the following error:

Looking for interesting users for Radu_Raicea...

Found the bug, it's quite funny!

The clean_json_response splits the response at ])}while(1);</x> in order to remove it. I recently explained the meaning of ])}while(1);</x> in one of my responses. When loading my profile, it loads a part of the response where I mention the string ])}while(1);</x>. clean_json_response splits the response there too.

In order to fix this, clean_json_response must only remove the first iteration of ])}while(1);</x>.
