If you don’t mind using perl instead, the most straightforward solution is

$ perl -nle 'print if 100 .. 200 && /regex/'  somefile

You can use awk.

cat "$FILE" | awk 'NR>=100 && NR<=200 && /regex/'

  grep "word" file(s)

for instance

 grep word *

searches for word in all files in the current directory. To print 100 -200 line do

 sed -n '100,200p'

So combined you get

 sed -n '100,200p' *|grep word
