This will get you close.  Just change the "echo" line...

#!/bin/sh

IFS="

query_string=""
for line in `pciconf -lv`
do

     echo $line | grep -qs "^[a-z]"
     if [ $? -eq 0 ]
     then
         if [ -n "$query_string" ]
         then
             echo "http://foo.com/bar.php?"$query_string
             query_string=""
         fi
