Then use json tools FFS.
man jq
cat wtf.txt | jq *.id

cat newdata.txt | jq *.id

You didn't bother to read the man file.. i pulled that out of my ass from memory...

the correct syntax is jq '.id

but as this point I doubt you have the data you think you have in your text file.

@jaredbusch said in Grep help:

the correct syntax is jq '.id'

I'm also assuming that id is one of the json keys based on your first post.

no one knows WTF you have in newdata.txt....

cat > test.txt << EOF
stuff 1 A00000000 more stuff 1
stuff 2 B00000001 more stuff 2
stuff 3 C00000002 more stuff 3
stuff 4 D00000003 more stuff 4
stuff 5 E00000002 more stuff 5
EOF

then

cat test.txt | grep [AD][[:digit:]][[:digit:]][[:digit:]][[:digit:]][[:digit:]][[:digit:]][[:digit:]][[:digit:]]

There are more id values are there in the txt file

Example)
This id value example is only for the 1 tickets
"id"="D00000000"
"id" ="V00000000"
"id"="eeeeeee-eeeeee-eeeee-eeeee"
"id"="eadsga-ereagag"

i just want to grep only D0000000 and V000000 values for each tickets.There are around 5000 tickets are there and each for more id for one ticket

This worked for me now

cat test.txt | grep '[V][[:digit:]][[:digit:]][[:digit:]][[:digit:]][[:digit:]][[:digit:]][[:digit:]][[:digit:]][[:digit:]]'

want to grep

no you don't.

FFS how many times do I have to tell you.

Your data is json, use fucking jsontools.

jq is extremely powerful. Use it to correctly query your json data to get the result you need.
