First off, that's a useless use of cat. Any program in UNIX which uses stdin is fully capable of reading files without being spoon-fed by cat. program < filename or <filename program | program2 ...

If you have a modern enough shell, how about this:

Code:
while read LINE
do
        read LINE2
        echo "${LINE2:0:5}" "${LINE}"
done < data
