Save the following script as print_range.vbs:
Code:
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
myFile = WScript.Arguments.Item(0)

myStart = WScript.Arguments.Item(1)
myEnd = WScript.Arguments.Item(2)


Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(myFile)
Do Until objFile.AtEndOfLine
  numRec = objFile.Line
  Rec = objFile.ReadLine 
  If numRec >=  CInt(myStart) And numRec <= CInt(myEnd) Then
    WScript.Echo Rec
  End If
Loop

Execute it like this:

Code:
cscript -nologo print_range.vbs infile 20 30
