Code:
#From 1 to 8
awk 'NR<=8 {print}' file

#Between 5 and 9 inclusive
awk 'NR>=5 && NR<=9 {print}' file

You can use FNR if you have multiple files.
NR is the total number of records for all the files.
FNR is specific to each file bring processed. FNR will be reset when a new file comes in.

Try this code to find the difference
Code:
awk '{print NR "-" FNR}' file1 file2

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1). AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like @include getopt.awk in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path. OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
