I used top -b -n 2 | awk 'if ($9 != 0.0) print $0,sed -n '8,20p''>>text.txt
, then the output is :

The top command is intended for interactive use. To get the output you want in a programmatic way, you might consider using ps instead, which can give most of the same information but it is more script-friendly.
Example:
$ ps -eo pid,uid,pri,nice,vsz,rss,s,%cpu,%mem,time,comm | head
PID UID PRI NI VSZ RSS S %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
1 0 19 0 186380 9608 S 0.0 0.0 00:01:15 systemd

You are constructing a false dilemma, when you could instead be fixing your answer. Your answer begins with an outright denial of what the manual for the command specifically says about the way that the questioner is using it. This is not an auspicious beginning to an answer.

@JdeBP If you want to help me improve my answer, simply nitpicking over the manual is not the way to go. From what is posted in the question, it would appear that the manual contradicts observables. In the question we see that despite the use of-b,topdoes not behave in a way that works well with other programs. I will defer to what can be observed. Again, you may feel encouraged to post an alternative Answer if your familiarity withtop's manual furnishes you with some insight into how to do what is required without switching fromtoptops.

The various components of the Summary Area can be enabled or disabled as follows:
Summary-Area-defaults
'l' - Load Avg/Uptime On (thus program name)
't' - Task/Cpu states On (1+1 lines, see '1')
'm' - Mem/Swap usage On (2 lines worth)
'1' - Single Cpu On (thus 1 line if smp)
To disable all of them, start top then press each of the m, l and t keys until those lines disappear (some of them cycle through a few modes, rather than being simple on-off toggles). Then save your changes to .toprc with W.
After that, top -b -n 1 will show only a blank line, the column header line, and the individual lines for each process.
The configuration file is, for the most part, human-readable, so you could edit it directly, but it doesn't appear to be designed for that. (Notably, the fieldscur field contains characters from outside the usual ASCII range.) The parts you want to disable are all represented by bits in the winflags entry, but the exact values (as well as the location of the config file) may vary between different versions.

The top command is intended for interactive use. To get the output you want in a programmatic way, you might consider using ps instead, which can give most of the same information but it is more script-friendly.
Example:
$ ps -eo pid,uid,pri,nice,vsz,rss,s,%cpu,%mem,time,comm | head
PID UID PRI NI VSZ RSS S %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
1 0 19 0 186380 9608 S 0.0 0.0 00:01:15 systemd
2 0 19 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 00:00:00 kthreadd

11 0 41 - 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 00:00:24 rcuc/0
Notice how the only field missing is SHR. (I couldn't find out how to get ps to print it.)

The various components of the Summary Area can be enabled or disabled as follows:
Summary-Area-defaults
'l' - Load Avg/Uptime On (thus program name)
't' - Task/Cpu states On (1+1 lines, see '1')
'm' - Mem/Swap usage On (2 lines worth)
'1' - Single Cpu On (thus 1 line if smp)
To disable all of them, start top then press each of the m, l and t keys until those lines disappear (some of them cycle through a few modes, rather than being simple on-off toggles). Then save your changes to .toprc with W.
After that, top -b -n 1 will show only a blank line, the column header line, and the individual lines for each process.
The configuration file is, for the most part, human-readable, so you could edit it directly, but it doesn't appear to be designed for that. (Notably, the fieldscur field contains characters from outside the usual ASCII range.) The parts you want to disable are all represented by bits in the winflags entry, but the exact values (as well as the location of the config file) may vary between different versions.
