I looked at the following answer and develop a props.conf myself, but this is not working. Similar to this answer.

[example]
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE_DATE = false
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = (\{\s+"created_at")
MUST_BREAK_AFTER = ("en"\s+\})
SEDCMD-remove_header = s/\[{\s+\"created_at"/{"created_at"/g
SEDCMD-remove_trailing_commas = s/\}, \{\s+\"created_at"/}{"created_at"/g

NO_BINARY_CHECK=true
CHARSET=AUTO
disabled=false
LINE_BREAKER=}\, {(\s+)"created_at"
SEDCMD-aaaheader=s/\[\{\s+//g
SEDCMD-bbbfooter=s/\}\]\s+//g
SEDCMD-cccfixjson=s/"created/{\n"created/g
