You could try this, fields are read into bash array name C starting with index 0 for field 1 (index 11 for field 12):

Code:
#!/bin/bash
sed -n "11,22p" $1 | while read -a C
do
    front=${C[11]%????}          # Front = Everything except last four chars of C[11] (field 12)
    holder=${C[11]#$front}       # Remove $front from front of C[12] and store in holder
    echo "$holder"
done

rmidish

RMIDISH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						RMIDISH(1)

NAME

     rmidish -- front-end to midish(1), using the readline(3) library

SYNOPSIS

     rmidish

DESCRIPTION

     The rmidish utility is a very simple front-end to midish(1) that uses the readline(3) library.  It runs midish(1) in the background, issues
     an interactive prompt and passes user commands to midish(1).  The initial purpose of rmidish was to illustrate how to use the -v option of
     midish(1) to create a front-end, but it can be run instead of midish(1) to make the later more user-friendly when used interactively.

SEE ALSO

     midish(1), readline(3)
     Midish user's manual and tutorial
     http://caoua.org/midish/

BUGS

     The midish(1) executable has to be in the same directoy as rmidish
