Print columns in a file by number list in another file
This should follow with my last post but I think it's better to start a new one. Now I have a list of numbers stored in pos.txt:

Code:
2
6
7
.
.
.
n
.
.
.

And I need to extract (2n-1, 2n) columns from matrix.txt:

Code:
ind1 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R ...
ind2 B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S ...
ind3 C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T ...

The returned result should be like:

Code:
ind1 C D K L M N ...
ind2 D E L M N O ...
ind3 E F M N O P ...

With each number (n) read from list pos.txt, I was thinking of using something like

Code:
awk '{FS=" "; print $1" "$2*$n-1" "$2*$n}' matrix.txt

Sorry that I don't know much about awk but really appreciate your help!
