Extract data from txt with regex

I just used Google Vision API to convert a pdf receipt to a txt file. Now I would like to extract 4 specific fields and save those in a new txt file.

I highlighted 2 examples of the items I woul like to extract

yellow: product ID ;green: quantity ;blue: unit price ;Red: product description enter image description here

Here is a piece of the text file:

['Waiting for the operation to finish.\n', 'Output files:\n', 'receipts/factura_lider.txtoutput-1-to-1.json\n', 'Full text:\n', '\n', 'ADMIN. DE SUPERMERCADOS HIPER\n', 'LIMITADA\n', '76.134.941-4\n', 'Hiper\n', 'LIDER\n', 'GRANDES ESTABLECIMIENTOS-VENTA DE\n', 'ALIM.\n', 'BOLETA ELECTRÓNICA N° : 1680178292\n', 'LOCAL:\n', '0682\n', 'CAJA:\n', '020\n', 'CAJERO:\n', '163\n', 'FECHA EMISION:\n', '20-10-2020\n', 'HORA:\n', '09:07\n', 'TRAN.
