u want to print first row with fourth column and second row with fifth column; the code is below
The error is shown with syntax error; what can be done
And another question is that if there is to print first row with fourth column and last row with fifth column; in each file; how the solution with awk will be?
First, please use CODE tags (not QUOTE tags) to show contents of files.
Second, we seem to have a language barrier. I do not understand what you want. Are you asking for a script that uses awk to read two lines from a file and write just column 4 from the 1st row and column 5 from the 2nd row? If this is what you want, you can get it using something like:
Are you asking for a script that reads a file and prints the 1st line that contains 4 or more columns and the 2nd line that contains 5 or more columns?
Please show us the output you want from the sample input you provide (in CODE tags) so we more clearly understand what you're trying to do.

colrm
COLRM(1) BSD General Commands Manual COLRM(1)NAME
colrm -- remove columns from a file
SYNOPSIS
colrm [start [stop]]
DESCRIPTION
The colrm utility removes selected columns from the lines of a file. A column is defined as a single character in a line. Input is read
from the standard input. Output is written to the standard output.
If only the start column is specified, columns numbered less than the start column will be written. If both start and stop columns are spec-
ified, columns numbered less than the start column or greater than the stop column will be written. Column numbering starts with one, not
zero.
Tab characters increment the column count to the next multiple of eight. Backspace characters decrement the column count by one.
ENVIRONMENT
The LANG, LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE environment variables affect the execution of colrm as described in environ(7).
EXIT STATUS
The colrm utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO awk(1), column(1), cut(1), paste(1)HISTORY
The colrm command appeared in 3.0BSD.
