Find and replace every text between (every) two strings?

Question

How can I select every text between base64 and ==?

Please, I have tried a whole lot of REGEX without success.

I have an exported mailbox file from Apple Mail.
I want to simply delete the image data (replace the Base64 data with nothing).

Every solution I've found is select every text between the first base64 and the last ==, which is not helping.

i suggest removing this question, it's not asked properly and the solution is obvious and has been posted and explained many times on SO. — Wiktor Stribiżew, Mar 03 '17 at 17:44
I think there is a vast ocean of people out there not knowing how to speak regex. They might find this useful, just as I did. — Geri Borbás, Mar 03 '17 at 18:24

You can try like this in your preferred programming language. I've used JavaScript for eg.

newStr = string.replace(/base64(.*?)\=\=/, "")

I'd happy to accept this, but it does nothing. `base64[^<>]*?==` does. – Geri Borbás Mar 03 '17 at 17:10
