List of filenames where column title matches string and value is in limits
I'm somewhat new to BASH scripting but have managed to work my way through most of a problem. I'm trying to get a list of filenames where a column header occurs and any value in that column is within a range.

So far I can sort through the list of files in a directory specified by the user, find the column, and get the column number. The problem is that I can't get the column number from one awk line and into the next. I print the variable in the for loop scanning the file, but when I leave the first awk, the variable goes back to null or 0 thereby returning all of the files which match the column header.

I'm not sitting in front of the machine with the code, I'll try to post it later.

Any help would be great.
