Ah, ok. So it works as I posted it. It was strange otherwise.

Tabs shouldn't be a problem, because awk splits automatically in any space character, but they will have any other issue. Post an example that doesn't work.

OK. This is what I have checked so far.

The space or tabs doesn't matter. I checked it.

The gawk or awk doesn't matter. I checked it.

When the limit is -1000000 to 1000000, it works fine.

But, when I change it to -5000 to 5000, it doesn't.

I am checking this script on an already done files. I got 161 records using -5000 to 5000 range using the same two input files.

But, this script doesn't generate anything.

I know it is weird. Any thoughts?

Post both input files (part of them) and expected output to see where the script fails.

My files have more than a million records.

I just checked the script with those records that are between -5K and 5K range.

It works fine.

But, when I give the main files, it doesn't generate anything.

What do you think? SmilieSmilieSmilieSmilie

Without seeing the data which doesn't work, it's extremely difficult to say.
