Hi

A perl solution:

Code:
$ perl  -alne '$,=" ";use List::Util qw(max min);$x=pop @F;print max(@F),min(@F),$x;' file
3038743 3037800 m101c
3219800 3217600 m290

Using awk: (just realized you tagged as awk)

Code:
$ awk '{min=$1;for(i=1;i<=4;i++){if ($i>max)max=$i; if ($i<min)min=$i;} print max,min,$NF;}' file
3038743 3037800 m101c
3219800 3217600 m290

max would need to be reset too:
Code:
awk '{min=max=$1; for(i=2;i<=4;i++){if($i<min) min=$i; if($i>max) max=$i} print min,max,$5}' file
