The line using meta_way is commented out, so - no surprise it doesn't print.
In case it were uncommented, are you sure meta_way's contents is numerical?
In case it were numerical, the code as is should print the message for the first line and for every other 8th line, then, i.e. line 9, 17, and so on. Is that what you desire?

SUBUID(5)                                                  File Formats and Conversions                                                  SUBUID(5)

NAME
subuid - the subordinate uid file DESCRIPTION
Each line in /etc/subuid contains a user name and a range of subordinate user ids that user is allowed to use. This is specified with three fields delimited by colons (":"). These fields are: o login name or UID o numerical subordinate user ID o numerical subordinate user ID count This file specifies the user IDs that ordinary users can use, with the newuidmap command, to configure uid mapping in a user namespace. Multiple ranges may be specified per user. When large number of entries (10000-100000 or more) are defined in /etc/subuid, parsing performance penalty will become noticeable. In this case it is recommended to use UIDs instead of login names. Benchmarks have shown speed-ups up to 20x. FILES
/etc/subuid Per user subordinate user IDs. /etc/subuid- Backup file for /etc/subuid. SEE ALSO
