dunno if that'll be any help, but it looks pretty simmilar to
YAML, here's a little regex magic to convert it to valid yaml:

http://pastie.org/533386

beware though, that will only work if
(a) the whole file equally well formatted (i.e. no trailing spaces
    at the end of lines, no extra spaces between "foo" = "bar" etc.)
(b) you don't need that " -- [1]" stuff at the end of some of the lines
    (i didn't know what that was for)
(c) indentation is the same for the whole file
(d) you don't mind that everything is in arrays, even stuff with only one
entry

Point (a) is pretty relative, the regexps can be easily adjusted to allow
any
amount of spaces between the different parts and at end of lines.

Disclaimer: I haven't tested this thoroughly, just ran it over your snippet.
No guarantees it'll work with your whole file...

Greetz,
