Looking for dynamic WP content plugin to edit a part of a post without updating the entire post

Hi all, will try to explain what I'm looking for.
I want to have a dynamic content within the post, for example;
"....offer is valid till January 29th" . Now I want to edit the "January 29th" every once in a while , without actually editing and updating the entire post.
Is there any plugin/widget that can control parts of the content from the admin area? ( mind that this is not cloaking\ pretty-linking that the redirection can be controlled, but it is the content itself that needs to be visible and yet dynamic.)

Appreciate the help!

    I have looked for something like this before, but haven't found any plugin that can do this.

      I have a client who sells a paid column plugin that keeps pieces of content in admin that can be added or you could use text widgets. Look at the widgets-in-pages plugin.

        I suppose it's somehow related to what I'm looking for but not quite the same..

          That's the one I meant. The other one that my client sells I would only recommend if you need column combos. It differs from the free ones that use short codes in that you past the content into a named area in an admin page. If you can explain what you want to do that is different than swapping out the text in a text widget maybe one of us can come up with something.

            Thanks.
            Like I said, within the regular text of a post, I want to control a part of it, without any special buttons or crazy graphics.
            For example
            " This Laptop is really cool. And only on Jan 15-31 you can get it at 10% off".

            I want to control the " Jan 15-31" , for example change it to "Mar 15-31" without the need to edit and update the post itself. Somehow from the admin dashboard.

    There are a few ways to do this

    With a plugin:
    - Use the "allow PHP in pages and posts" plugin and code something yourself (eg opening a txt file on your webserver with the date)

    Code:
    php]
echo file_get_contents( "yourdate.txt" ); // get the contents, and echo it out.
/php]
    Without a plugin:
    - Let a cronjob edit the post in mysql
    - Edit the post manually in phpmyadmin
