comparison of 2 files using unix or awk
Hello,

I have 2 files and I want them to be compared in a specific fashion

file1:
Code:
A_1200_1250
A_1251_1300
B_1301_1350
B_1351_1400
B_1401_1450
C_1451_1500

and so on...

file2:
Code:
 1210  1305  1260  1295
1400 1500 1450  1495

Now The script should look for "1200" from A_1200_1250 of file 1 and see if this number falls between column 1 and column 3 or column 2 and column 4 of file2

If it falls between column 1 and column 3 of file 2 assign it positive
If it falls between column 2 and column 4 of file2 assign it negative
It the above 2 condition's are not satisfied assign neutral

output
Code:
A_1200_1250 neutral
A_1251_1300 positive
B_1301_1350 negative
B_1351_1400 neutral 
B_1401_1450 positive
C_1451_1500 neutral

Any help or suggestion on this is greatly appreciated

Thanks,
