The correct solution is to find a tool that does this properly. batch/CMD does not.
Here's a script that tells you the line numbers of the 3rd and 4th match. It's probably not exactly what you want, but it is a demonstration of how one can effectively work with line numbers.
@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
SET FILE=TestFile.txt
SET _LINENO=1
SET _MATCHNO=0
SET _THIRDLINENUM=
SET _FOURTHLINENUM=
FOR /F %%l IN (%FILE%) DO (
ECHO %%l | FINDSTR "Target" %_TMP% >NUL
IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 (
SET /A _MATCHNO=!_MATCHNO!+1
IF !_MATCHNO!==3 SET _THIRDLINENUM=!_LINENO!
IF !_MATCHNO!==4 SET _FOURTHLINENUM=!_LINENO!
)
SET /A _LINENO=!_LINENO!+1
)
@ECHO %_THIRDLINENUM% : %_FOURTHLINENUM%
Here's what's in TestFile.txt
abcdefg
bcdefgh
Target 1
cdefghi
defghij
fghijkl
Target 2
ghijklm
hijklmn
ijklmno
jklmnop
klmnopq
lmnopqr
mnopqrs
Target 3
nopqrst
Target 4
opqrstu
pqrstuv
qrstuvw
rstuvwx
stuvwxy
tuvwxyz
If you insist on using batch/CMD (and I sometimes do when nothing else is available), and you need to get the text on line #n (otherwise, head and tail would do just fine), you could produce a similar loop but replace the code from FINDSTR down to the end of the IF statement with something that compares _LINENO with some other variable, ECHO'ing the line if it is between the two values. I don't know if IF supports logical operators, so you may have to nest the IF statements, like
IF !_LINENO! GEQ %START_LINE% IF !_LINENO! LEQ %END_LINE% @ECHO %%l
