Question trying to print selected fields of selected lines by AWK
I am trying to print 1st, 2nd, 13th and 14th fields of a file of line numbers from 29 to 10029. I dont know how to put this in one code. Currently I am removing the selected lines by
awk 'NR==29,NR==10029' File1 > File2

and then doing

awk '{print $1, $2, $13, $14}' File2 > File3

Can somebody tell me how to combine this in one code?Smilie
