Default Quick way to format this?


I have a document that is around 50,000 lines long, and I want to turn
it into an organized thing people can read. This is the format it is in
at the moment:
Code:
--------------------

over.push([true,'Floating Devil', ,shop[8],0,mi[21],option[1],false]);
over.push([true,'Floating Angel', ,shop[8],0,mi[20],option[1],false]);
over.push([true,'Floating Devil 2', ,shop[8],0, mi[21],option[1],false]);
over.push([true,'Floating Angel 2', ,shop[8],0, mi[20],option[1],false]);
over.push([true,'Notes', ,shop[2],450,mi[0],option[0], true]);
over.push([true,'Heartsurroundings', ,shop[8],0,mi[13],option[1], true]);
over.push([true,'Valentine Bubble', ,shop[8],0,mi[13],option[1], true]);
over.push([true,'Flying Bats', ,shop[8],0,mi[3],option[1], true]);
over.push([true,'Fire Phoenix Flames', ,shop[2],450,mi[0],option[0], true]);
over.push([true,'Water Phoenix Flames', ,shop[2],450,mi[0],option[0], true]);
over.push([true,'Wind Leaves', ,shop[2],450,mi[0],option[0], true]);
over.push([true,'Snowflakes', ,shop[2],450,mi[0],option[0], true]);
over.push([true,'Night Stars', ,shop[0],700,mi[0],option[0], true]);

--------------------

I want any lines that don't have mi[0] in them erased, and I want the
ones that do contain mi[0] changed into this sort of format:
Notes - shop[2] - 450
Wind Leaves - shop[2] - 450
Snowflakes - shop[2] - 450
Night Stars - shop[0] - 700

Would there be any faster way of doing this (Using find and replace? I
can't figure out how to do it right, with wildcards and all,) than
doing it manually?

I have tried, but everytime I try to use wildcards I mess it up. Any
step-by-steps?


The work is for a website I am working on. I wont say the specifics,
but I made a spider that collected the data, but it could only churn it
out in the first format. I need to make it into the second so my viewers
would be capable of reading it.
