I have a number of pretty large text file that I want to split into a bunch of smaller files (the number of files will vary file to file).

All of them follow a the same pattern:

 "id": 999999,
 "url": "https://***",
 "name": "****",
 "name_abbreviation": "****",
 "decision_date": "****",
 "docket_number": "****",
 "first_page": "***",
 "last_page": "***",
 "citations": [
 
 "type": "***",
 "cite": "***"
 ,
 
 "type": "***",
 "cite": "***"
 
 ],
 "volume": 
 "url": "https://***",
 "volume_number": "**"
 ,
 "reporter": 
 "url": "***",
 "full_name": "***"
 ,
 "court": 
 "url": "https://***",
 "id": ***,
 "slug": "***",
 "name": "***",
 "name_abbreviation": "***"
 ,
 "jurisdiction": 
 "url": "https://***",
 "id": **,
 "slug": "**",
 "name": "***.",
 "name_long": "***",
 "whitelisted": ***
 ,
 "casebody": 
 "status": "ok",
 "data": 
 "attorneys": [
 "****",
 "***"
 ],
 "opinions": [
 
 "type": "***",
 "text": "INSERT MANY LINES OF TEXT",
 "author": "***"
 
 ],
 "judges": [
 "***"
 ],
 "parties": [
 "***"
 ],
 "head_matter": "***"
 
 
 },

And then repeats a variable amount of times.

I am trying to split this into each of these repeats in its own new text file. Aka from the first instance of "id": 99999, through the body of text and the final "head_matter" variable, until the next "id": 99999 will come up next.

My problem is that there are 3 '"id": ' patterns, but I only want to split at the first.

[a solution using awk or grep or csplit would be most preferable, this is going in a larger c shell script]
