using sed or awk to replace string

I have one file which have many fields so I manage to pull partial data that I need using 

variable= awk -F "," '{print $2}' filename.txt

and the string that I get is 

"client":"c62e-c5a9-4611-91c6-118b4ee"

so now I want to try to change this string to 

export client=c62e-c5a9-4611-91c6-118b4ee

when I try with 

variable2= awk -F """ '{print $4}' $variable

it does not work as my plan was to pull this string first 62e-c5a9-4611-91c6-118b4ee then after that append export client= inf front of that, but I could not do that way also.

can someone help on this either awk or sed that give me that desired outcome will appreciate it.

thanks

updates: and here is the completed code, based on request I put masked code with sample output I'm looking for.

{"name":"metering","client":"c62e-c5a9-4611-91c6-118b4ee","client_s":"roubhaofga4mm67ncd6","audience":["metering","c68f932e-c5a9-4611-91c6-118b4ef840fe"],"acces_allowed_types":["BEARER"],"grant_types":["CLIENT_CREDENTIALS"],"subject_type":"PUBLIC","access_t":"BEARER","id_t":"UNSIGNED_JWT","resource_":"ACCESS","resource_level":"PUBLIC","token_expiration":3600,"refresh":604800,"scopes":[{"name":"metering","description":"metering"}],"client_method":"CLPOST"}

what I did is 

variable= awk -F "," '{print $2}' filename.txt
echo $variable

output that I'm getting is 

"client":"c62e-c5a9-4611-91c6-118b4ee"

what I want is 

export client=c62e-c5a9-4611-91c6-118b4ee

I could see some space between equal and your command and it is not wrapped within $ too.

var=$(your command)

Since you haven't shown us sample Input so based on what you have shown.

echo "$your_variable" | awk '{gsub("\042","");sub(/:/,"=");print "export",$0}'

Though if you could show us some sample Input and sample expected output more accurately then could have helped more on this.
