I am trying to read sections of a file into numpy arrays that have similar start and stop flags for the different sections of the file. At the moment I have found a method

You have indentation problem, your code should look like this:

with open("myFile.txt") as f:
    array = []
    parsing = False
    for line in f:
        if line.startswith('stop flag'):
        parsing = False
        if parsing:
        #do things to the data
        if line.startswith('start flag'):
        parsing = True
