You did a typo error :

Code:
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.

We already replied to this in the thead you post about your 'grep problem'

Code:
sed '/Engine 0/,/Average/!d;/Average/q' pippo.out
