How to construct a javascript regex to extract all string after a special string?

I have this string : 

"AED 149: "Instant Redemption A 10AED""

How can I have a regex that will get me this text ?

"Instant Redemption A 10AED"

currently I have this 

var regEx = new RegExp(currency + ' ' + '[\\d,.]+: (.*)', "ig");

in which currency value is AED now.

but this return for me "AED 149: "Instant Redemption A 10AED"" as a match

Can I modify my regex to have this result only : "Instant Redemption A 10AED" ?

var str = "AED 149: "Instant Redemption A 10AED"";
str.replace(/[^\:]+\:[^\"]+\"([^\"]+)\"/, "$1");

Transferring my comment into answer for better understanding.

Your regex is fine but global flag is not needed. You just need to use captured group #1 like this:

var currency = 'AED'    
var regEx = new RegExp(currency + ' ' + '[\\d,.]+: (.*)', "i");    
var s = 'AED 149: "Instant Redemption A 10AED"'

var m = s.match(regEx);

console.log(m[1]);
//=> "Instant Redemption A 10AED"

If you have always the same format you can get it without regex, just using split :

var my_string = 'AED 149: "Instant Redemption A 10AED"';
my_string.split(':')[1]; //Will return "Instant Redemption A 10AED"

Hope this helps.
