Answer 1

PS> help select -param index

-Index 
    Selects objects from an array based on their index values. Enter the indexes in a comma-separated list.

    Indexes in an array begin with 0, where 0 represents the first value and (n-1) represents the last value.

    Required?                    false
    Position?                    named
    Default value                None
    Accept pipeline input?       false
    Accept wildcard characters?  false

Based on the above, '8,13' will get you just two lines. One thing you can do is pass an array of numbers, you can use the range operator:

Get-Content -Path $TextFile | Select-Object -Index (8..13) | Foreach-Object {...}
