Hi All,

I have text file like as below
Code:
 
temp.txt 1 Line 
temp.txt 2 Line 
temp.txt 3 Line 
temp.txt 4 Line 
temp.txt 5 Line 
temp.txt 6 Line 
temp.txt 7 Line 
temp.txt 8 Line 
temp.txt N Line

I expect the output like as below
Code:
 
processing 6 ...
processing 7 ...
processing 8 ...

I am using the below code to show the messge. But it process each and every line. How to ignore first 5 lines and Nth(Last) Line of the file. Please suggest some awk releated stuffs.
Code:
awk '{print "processing "$2 "\t..."}'
