How do I break multiple events by Regex into single event objects

BrandSentiment

I would like to break this into individual events before the ",{type" :

{ "type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [{ "type": "Feature", "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [34.7500, 31.5000] }, "properties": {  "urlpubtimedate": "2015-11-08T16:30:00Z", "name": "Israel", "geores": 1, "url": "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34729243", "urldomain": "bbc.co.uk", "urlsocialimage": "http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/cpsprodpb/15BB8/production/_86561098_gettyimages-456461420.jpg", "urllangcode": "eng", "urltone": 0.88, "urlwordcnt": 752, "urlnumamounts": 2, "mentionedthemes": ";APPOINTMENT;TAX_POLITICAL_PARTY_REPUBLICANS;GENERAL_GOVERNMENT;MANMADE_DISASTER_IMPLIED;TAX_FNCACT_LEADERS;USPEC_POLITICS_GENERAL1;TAX_ETHNICITY_AMERICAN;SLFID_MILITARY_SPENDING;WB_2471_PEACEKEEPING;USPEC_POLICY1;TAX_FNCACT_MINISTER;TAX_FNCACT_CHILD;NEGOTIATIONS;TAX_POLITICAL_PARTY_DEMOCRATS;MEDIA_SOCIAL;", "mentionednames": ";Israel National Public Diplomacy Directorate;Benjamin Netayahu;Facebook;"} },{ "type": "Feature", "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [-77.0364, 38.8951] }, "properties": {  "urlpubtimedate": "2015-11-08T16:30:00Z", "name": "Washington, District Of Columbia, United States", "geores": 3, "url": "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34729243", "urldomain": "bbc.co.uk", "urlsocialimage": "http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/cpsprodpb/15BB8/production/_86561098_gettyimages-456461420.jpg", "urllangcode": "eng", "urltone": 0.88, "urlwordcnt": 752, "urlnumamounts": 2, "mentionedthemes": ";TAX_FNCACT_MINISTER;TAX_FNCACT_MAN;GENERAL_GOVERNMENT;CRISISLEX_C07_SAFETY;USPEC_POLITICS_GENERAL1;TAX_FNCACT_OFFICIAL;", "mentionednames": ";White House;Benjamin Netanyahu;Us Congress;"} },{ "type": "Feature", "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [51.5148, 35.7500] }, "properties": {  "urlpubtimedate": "2015-11-08T16:30:00Z", "name": "Tehran, Tehran, Iran", "geores": 3, "url": "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34729243", "urldomain": "bbc.co.uk", "urlsocialimage": "http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/cpsprodpb/15BB8/production/_86561098_gettyimages-456461420.jpg", "urllangcode": "eng", "urltone": 0.88, "urlwordcnt": 752, "urlnumamounts": 2, "mentionedthemes": ";WMD;", "mentionednames": ""} },{ "type": "Feature", "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [37.6156, 55.7522] }, "properties": {  "urlpubtimedate": "2015-11-08T16:30:00Z", "name": "Moscow, Moskva, Russia", "geores": 3, "url": "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34729243", "urldomain": "bbc.co.uk", "urlsocialimage": "http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/cpsprodpb/15BB8/production/_86561098_gettyimages-456461420.jpg", "urllangcode": "eng", "urltone": 0.88, "urlwordcnt": 752, "urlnumamounts": 2, "mentionedthemes": ";TAX_FNCACT_MINISTER;", "mentionednames": ""} },{ "type": "Feature", "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [38.0000, 35.0000] }, "properties": {  "urlpubtimedate": "2015-11-08T16:30:00Z", "name": "Syria", "geores": 1, "url": "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34729243", "urldomain": "bbc.co.uk", "urlsocialimage": "http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/cpsprodpb/15BB8/production/_86561098_gettyimages-456461420.jpg", "urllangcode": "eng", "urltone": 0.88, "urlwordcnt": 752, "urlnumamounts": 2, "mentionedthemes": ";USPEC_POLITICS_GENERAL1;", "mentionednames": ""} },{ "type": "Feature", "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [53.0000, 32.0000] }, "properties": {  "urlpubtimedate": "2015-11-08T16:30:00Z", "name": "Iran", "geores": 1, "url": "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34729243", "urldomain": "bbc.co.uk", "urlsocialimage": "http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/cpsprodpb/15BB8/production/_86561098_gettyimages-456461420.jpg", "urllangcode": "eng", "urltone": 0.88, "urlwordcnt": 752, "urlnumamounts": 2, "mentionedthemes": ";TAX_ETHNICITY_AMERICANS;NEGOTIATIONS;WB_724_HUMAN_RESOURCES_FOR_PUBLIC_SECTOR;", "mentionednames": ";White House;"} }] } 

So it looks like:

That validates as JSON. It could perhaps be more useful to you if you were switch the input to JSON to take advantage of those features. You may still have some cleaning up to do, but I think it'll get you a lot closer to having usable data.
