How to read lines 500 to 2000 in a 10000 record file and put in a seperate file using sed or awk.

Thanks

Code:

 sed -n '500,2000p' input > output
OR
 sed '500,2000!d'  input > output

Thanks, but my question phrasing was wrong.

i want to search for ceratain words in a file like MILE in first column and assign its 5th column to a variable and if it don't find that word in other lines then i should assign '0' to a variable.

Hope this is clear

Thanks
mark
