Print column header

Hi,

Below is the data in a tab limited file

Quote:
ACCENT


Pcode Dealer Name Comp INF
Here ACCENT is just a heading and the line starting with Pcode has the column headers, and there is a 2 lines space between the file header and column header.

I want to print $2, that is Dealer Name

I used the below code

Code:
nawk 'NF>1{print $2; exit}' File.txt

But the result is coming only Dealer, whereas the result should be Dealer Name, what should be done to get the result as Dealer Name.

Please help.

Thanks
