finding values in between

Hi,

I have been trying to find someone with this similar problem but I was out of luck.

So I have a file that has two columns that look like this (for example):

10 20
40 50
45 60
90 130

So column 1 is start and column 2 is stop but what I want to do is find whats not represented by the start and stop. Is there a way to print out whats not part of the start to stop.

So I want the file to look like this:

1 9
22 39
61 89

So basically it prints out whats in between the rows that do not overlap.

thanksSmilie

COLRM(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  COLRM(1)

NAME
colrm -- remove columns from a file SYNOPSIS
colrm [start [stop]] DESCRIPTION
The colrm utility removes selected columns from the lines of a file. A column is defined as a single character in a line. Input is read from the standard input. Output is written to the standard output. If only the start column is specified, columns numbered less than the start column will be written. If both start and stop columns are spec- ified, columns numbered less than the start column or greater than the stop column will be written. Column numbering starts with one, not zero. Tab characters increment the column count to the next multiple of eight. Backspace characters decrement the column count by one. ENVIRONMENT
The LANG, LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE environment variables affect the execution of colrm as described in environ(7). EXIT STATUS
The colrm utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. SEE ALSO
awk(1), column(1), cut(1), paste(1) HISTORY
The colrm command appeared in 3.0BSD. BSD
