I have quoted parameters in log files, which are processed by Splunk:

"Version":"21"

How to extract that parameter to use in requests like this:

Version = "21" OR ...

Please note that it's no chance to modify current Splunk's config files.

You can try this:

your_search | extract kvdelim=":" | search Version="21"

This will pull the Key Value pairs that are delimited by a colon ":".
