I have a series of tests that are performed at random times throughout the week. There are a total of 12 events. Each event contains a series of tests

I have a collection of 12 tests that contain nested data inside. For example:

{results: 
         {
            did_pass: true
            unique_id: 12345
            test_number= 1
            test_statistics: { 
                              another_unique_id: abcde
                              }
           }
           {
             did_pass: false
             unique_id: 67891
             test_number= 1
             test_statistics: { 
                              another_unique_id: fghijk
                               }
             }
}

{results: 
         {
            did_pass: false
            unique_id: 111213
            test_number= 2
            test_statistics: { 
                              another_unique_id: lmnop
                              }
           }
           {
            did_pass: true
               unique_id: 141516
               test_number= 2
               test_statistics: { 
                                 another_unique_id: qrstuv
                                  }
             }
}

Is there any command that would loop through all of these results? I've tried "| dedup test_number" but have gotten nowhere with it.

Try this:

| makeresults
| eval raw="{results: 
   {
      did_pass: true
      unique_id: 12345
      test_number= 1
      test_statistics: { 
         another_unique_id: abcde
      }
   }
   {
      did_pass: false
      unique_id: 67891
      test_number= 1
      test_statistics: { 
         another_unique_id: fghijk
      }
   }
}:::{results: 
   {
      did_pass: false
      unique_id: 111213
      test_number= 2
      test_statistics: { 
         another_unique_id: lmnop
      }
   }
   {
      did_pass: true
      unique_id: 141516
      test_number= 2
      test_statistics: { 
         another_unique_id: qrstuv
      }
   }
 }"
