-- Wich version is better and why? Any suggestions are welcome.


   local Lines={}
   while true do
      local Line=Handle:read('*line')
      if Line==nil then break end
      if Line~='' then
         table.insert(Lines,Line)
      else
--       process lines here; e.g. with iterator
         Lines={}
      end
   end



   while true do
      local Lines=Lines or {}
      local Line=Handle:read('*line')
      if Line==nil then break end
      if Line~='' then
         table.insert(Lines,Line)
      else
--       process lines here; e.g. with iterator
         Lines=nil
      end
   end


-- The job is to read all lines until an empty line and
-- then process these lines and then read the next block
-- of lines until an empty line and so on...
