Another approach.. Try:
Code:
awk -F\; '
  BEGIN {
    split("bc=a: b: c: d: f: g:",L," ")
  }
  !/^@/{
    print
    next
  }
  {
    gsub(/[cd]1:[^,]+,/,x,$2)
    s=$1 FS
    n=split($2,F,",")
    for(i=1; i<=n; i++) {
      if(F[i]!~"^" L[i])
        break
      if(F[i]~/^[cd]1:/)
        continue
      s=s F[i] ","
    } 
    sub(/,$/,";",s)
    print s
  }
' file

Output:
Code:

jsonlint

JSONLINT(1)						      General Commands Manual						       JSONLINT(1)

NAME

       jsonlint - A JSON syntax validator and formatter tool

SYNOPSIS

       jsonlint [-v][-s|-S][-f|-F][-ecodec]inputfile.json...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the jsonlint commands.

OPTIONS

       The return status will be 0 if the file is legal JSON, or non-zero otherwise.  Use -v to see the warning details.

       Options are: -v, -s, -S, -f, -F, -e

       -v, --verbose
	      Show details of lint checking

       -s, --strict
	      Be strict in what is considered legal JSON (the default)

       -S, --nonstrict
	      Be loose in what is considered legal JSON

       -f, --format
	      Reformat the JSON (if legal) to stdout

       -F, --format-compactly
	      Reformat the JSON simlar to -f, but do so compactly by removing all unnecessary whitespace

       -e codec, --encoding=codec

       --input-encoding=codec --output-encoding=codec
	      Set  the input and output character encoding codec (e.g., ascii, utf8, utf-16).  The -e will set both the input and output encodings
	      to the same thing.  If not supplied, the input encoding is guessed  according  to  the  JSON  specification.   The  output  encoding
	      defaults to UTF-8, and is used when reformatting (via the -f or -F options).

	      When  reformatting,  all	members of objects (associative arrays) are always output in lexigraphical sort order.	The default output
	      codec is UTF-8, unless the -e option is provided.  Any Unicode characters will be output as literal characters if the encoding  per-
	      mits, otherwise they will be -escaped.  You can use "-e ascii" to force all Unicode characters to be escaped.
