Checking for ranges based on 2 columns
Hi,

I have a file with 6 columns. I want to check if column 1 and 2 fall between column 5 and 6 I want to call them as "TRUE_genes" if not then call them as "FALSE_genes". I can do it for checking one column but how to mention about two columns.

file1
Code:
110371373 110350697	110371783	110300377	110371404	110301885
45808257	45798774	45808617	45763389	45763389	45763389
87368962	87346409	87380107	87328129	87379794	87329229
70323322	70316688	70286296	70316666	70286623

Thanks,

Try this:

Code:
awk '{ printf( "%s_genes %s\n",  $1 > $5 && $1 < $6 && $2 > $5 && $2 < $6 ? "TRUE" : "FALSE", $0 ); }' input-file >output-file
