The basic problem is that you need to define what a "section" is: the line you presented uses different separators to delimit what i suppose is a "section" in your wording: spaces (or maybe tabs), dots, slashes and colons.
Will these four (five) characters always be delimiters?
Will the lines always have the same structure? (like "First 7 parts separated by "/", the seventh part consists of 6 parts separated by ".", then a colon, then ....")
If you could answer these questions we could perhaps provide better solutions which might work better. Without this information we will never be sure to have really solved the problem.
I hope this helps.
