+# section-parse-insane.py: scan standard input and do the following:
+#
+# 1. look for a section that begins with "test-text "STUFF/foo" and ends
+#    with a blank line.
+# 2. print the "bar.DIGITS" suffix for each line in the section
+#
+# Example:
+#   > cat input.txt
+#   test-text "blah blah blah garbage/foo"
+#   random crap bar.1
+#   random crap bar.2
+#   random crap bar.3
+#   random crap bar.4
+#   
+#   test-text "blah blah blah garbage/apple"
+#   random crap bar.1
+#   random crap bar.2
+#   random crap bar.3
+#   random crap bar.4
+#   > ./section-parse-insane.py < input.txt
+#   bar.1
+#   bar.2
+#   bar.3
+#   bar.4
+#

+# load libraries
+import re
+import sys

+# section and row matches
+S = re.compile('(?m)^test-text "[^"]+/foo"\n((?:^[^\n]*bar\.\d+\n)+)^\s*\n')
+B = re.compile('^.*(bar\.\d+)$')
+
+# read stdin, extract section body, split by line, map rows to suffix,
+# and print to stdout
+print("\n".join([B.sub('\\1', s) for s in S.search(sys.stdin.read())[1].strip().split("\n")]))
