Splitting multiple fields of /usr/bin/id

Hi,

Iv got the following input
Code:
$id |grep uid
uid=6090(dsiddiq) gid=1(staff) groups=4001(cdgrp)

and Im using the below command to split the field to grab the numberical userid as well the alphabetical userid

Code:
$id|awk -F'=' '{print $2}'|awk -F')' '{print $1}'|awk -F'(' '{print $1" "$2}'
6090 dsiddiq

I wanna know is there a shorter way to to achieve the same result

I am on an AIX machine

NAME
pwcache -- cache password and group entries LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS
#include <pwd.h> char * user_from_uid(uid_t uid, int nouser); #include <grp.h> char * group_from_gid(gid_t gid, int nogroup); DESCRIPTION
The user_from_uid() function returns the user name associated with the argument uid. The user name is cached so that multiple calls with the same uid do not require additional calls to getpwuid(3). If there is no user associated with the uid, a pointer is returned to a string rep- resentation of the uid, unless the argument nouser is non-zero, in which case a NULL pointer is returned. The group_from_gid() function returns the group name associated with the argument gid. The group name is cached so that multiple calls with the same gid do not require additional calls to getgrgid(3). If there is no group associated with the gid, a pointer is returned to a string representation of the gid, unless the argument nogroup is non-zero, in which case a NULL pointer is returned. SEE ALSO
getgrgid(3), getpwuid(3) HISTORY
The user_from_uid() and group_from_gid() functions first appeared in 4.4BSD. BSD
