If you example is correct - meaning the first [123] is always field 4 and the second [123] is always field 8:

Code:
tr  -d '[:punct:]' < inputfile | awk '{print $4 > "outfile1";print $8 > "outfile2"}'

This creates two files: outfile1 with the first brackets value, outfile2 with the second brackets output value.
