script question

From a script, I want to print all the lines of a file up to a line
containing the word "END".
Something like:

# grep -avw -m 1 "END" -f bla.txt

or

# cat bla.txt | while read line; do
echo $line
if [ "$line" == "END" ]; then break; fi
done


....except a script that actually works. The second one above does not
work because
the "read line" corrupts the lines by removing whitespace. I don't
know why the
first one doesn't work.
