My actual input file was a bit more complicated, and was similar to this:

Code:
....
??? key1: word1, word2, word3, word4
....
????? key2: word5, word6, word7
....
?????? key1: word8, word9
....
??????? key2: word10, word11
....


And the desired output is:

Code:
word1 word5
word8 word10

Before the reply from neutronscott came in, I managed to produce the desired output by piping it to a separate sed command to remove the unwanted newlines (which is somewhat similar to the solution suggested by Scrutinizer using paste):

Code:
sed -n -r -e "s_.* key1: ([^,]*).*_\1_p" -e "s_.*key2: ([^,]*).*_\1_p" input.txt | sed "N;s/\n/ /"

Using the method suggested by neutronscott, I'm now producing the same output using:

Code:
sed -n -r "/key1:/{s/.* key1: ([^,]*).*/\1 /;h};/key2:/{H;x;s/\n.* key2: ([^,]*).*/\1/p}" input.txt

It's actually slightly longer, but I prefer a single call to sed when possible.

Thanks everyone for your replies!

ARRAY_DIFF_UKEY(3)							 1							ARRAY_DIFF_UKEY(3)

array_diff_ukey - Computes the difference of arrays using a callback function on the keys for comparison

SYNOPSIS
array array_diff_ukey (array $array1, array $array2, [array $...], callable $key_compare_func) DESCRIPTION
Compares the keys from $array1 against the keys from $array2 and returns the difference. This function is like array_diff(3) except the comparison is done on the keys instead of the values. Unlike array_diff_key(3) a user supplied callback function is used for the indices comparison, not internal function. PARAMETERS
o $array1 - The array to compare from o $array2 - An array to compare against o $... - More arrays to compare against o $key_compare_func - The comparison function must return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the first argument is considered to be respectively less than, equal to, or greater than the second. int callback (mixed $a, mixed $b) RETURN VALUES
Returns an array containing all the entries from $array1 that are not present in any of the other arrays. EXAMPLES
Example #1 array_diff_ukey(3) example <?php function key_compare_func($key1, $key2) { if ($key1 == $key2) return 0; else if ($key1 > $key2) return 1; else return -1; } $array1 = array('blue' => 1, 'red' => 2, 'green' => 3, 'purple' => 4); $array2 = array('green' => 5, 'blue' => 6, 'yellow' => 7, 'cyan' => 8); var_dump(array_diff_ukey($array1, $array2, 'key_compare_func')); ?> The above example will output: array(2) { ["red"]=> int(2) ["purple"]=> int(4) } NOTES
Note This function only checks one dimension of a n-dimensional array. Of course you can check deeper dimensions by using array_diff_ukey($array1[0], $array2[0], 'callback_func');. SEE ALSO
