Answer 1

EDIT: Correcting my answer.

Using stringr:

library(stringr)

ids <- str_extract(text, 'Id:[ ]*\\S+')
ASIN <- str_extract(text, 'ASIN:[ ]*\\S+')
title <- str_extract(text, 'title:[ ]*\\S+')
group <- str_extract(text, 'group:[ ]*\\S+')
similar <- str_extract(text, 'similar:[ ]*\\S+')
rating <- str_extract(text, 'avg rating:[ ]*\\S+')
