A challenge for you sed/awk wizards...

Here's a challenge for you wizards...

I have a file formatted as follows;

Code:
$[{"_q":"Bobby","_feild1":"id3","_feild2":"users","_feild3":"3bc44332a28a7","feild4":"Bobby","feild5":8,"feild6":50},{"html":1,"type":"msgitem_mini","name":"Found <span class='b'>8<\/span> results."},{"id":"87654321,12345678,09876543","ids":3,"type":"item","name":"Bobby - One"},{"id":"1107338","ids":1,"type":"item","name":"Bobby! - Two"},{"type":"msgitem","style":"HRitem"}]

What I need to output is;

Code:
87654321 Bobby One
12345678 Bobby One
09876543 Bobby One
1107338 Bobby! Two

Any Ideas how I can do this? I've tried sed but I'm not sure if perl might be a better way to go and I'm not too familiar with that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

Code:
awk '/"id"/{split($2,n,",");for(i in n)print n[i],$6}' RS="}" FS='"[:,]"|"$' filename

Use nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk on Solaris.

If the order is important Smilie

Code:
awk '/"id"/{c=split($2,n,",");for(i=1;i<=c;i++)print n[i],$6}' RS="}" FS='"[:,]"|"$' filename
