You did a typo error :
while read line
do
done < myfile
you can then code whatever you want in the loop, if you want to go out of the loop, use the break command.
my problem is :
i have this report ....

must begin with "Engine 0" and must finish when match the string "Average"
We already replied to this in the thead you post about your 'grep problem'
sed '/Engine 0/,/Average/!d;/Average/q' pippo.out
the output don't give nobodoy results.
Then go back to your initial thread
and post an update about the problem you encountered.
