You don't need to transfer each line to fit into a list at first. To make it simpler, you can firstly organize the raw text content by regex, then parse them into the dictionary you want.

Suppose the text content is saved in a file called a_text_file.txt. The full code lies here:

I find no need to use regex to match, str.startswith function is what you need. This is my implementation let me know if it misses something

Constructors should not access externals; otherwise it will be difficult to bypass for testing, as you know.

A simple way is to make static bool field to bypass. This does not look so good but maybe enough.
