I want to iterate over the lines in a file, but break out if a certain

I don't want to leave open file references in my Lua state.
for line in io.lines(filename) do
if condition then break end

Thanks,

local file = io.open(filename)
for line in file:lines() do
if condition then break end
...
end
file:close()
