Printing File Contents Using AWK
I want to print the contents of a file from 2nd line to last but one line using the AWK command.
I tried using the Shell Script,MyScript as fallows:
MyScript:
{
if(NR>1)
{
if(NR<9)
{
print $0
}
}
}
and used the commnd :
awk -f MyScript Filename
Note: Filename contains 9 lines text.
I tried the same without shellscript as :
awk NR>1&&NR<9 '{print $0}' Filename
But, I am getting the error:
awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file `{print}' for reading (No such file or directory)
Could anyone please help me in getting this out?
Thanks in advance

dotty

DOTTY(1)                                                      General Commands Manual                                                     DOTTY(1)

NAME

       dotty - A Customizable Graph Editor

SYNOPSIS

       dotty [ -V ] [ file ]

DESCRIPTION

       dotty is a graph editor for the X Window System.  It may be run as a standalone editor, or as a front end for applications that use graphs.
       It can control multiple windows viewing different graphs.

       dotty is written on top of dot and lefty.  lefty is a general-purpose programmable editor for technical pictures.  It has  an  interpretive
       programming  language similar to AWK and C.  The user interface and graph editing operations of dotty are written as lefty functions.  Pro-
       grammer-defined graph operations may be loaded as well.  Graph layouts are made by dot, which runs as a separate process that  communicates
       with lefty through pipes.

USAGE

       The file name is optional. If present, the graph contained in that file is displayed in the dotty window.

OPTIONS

       -V     Prints the version.
