script to find non overlapping positions
Hi,

I am a newbie in unix programming so maybe this is a simple question.
I would like to know how can I make a script that outputs only the values that are not between any given start and end positions

Example

file1:
2 30
40 80
82 100

file2:
ID1 1
ID2 35
ID3 80
ID4 81
ID6 160

So, I would like to save to a file the lines from file2 where the numbers from the 2nd column are not between the start and end positions of file1. Therefore, the desired output would be:

Desired output file:
ID4 81
ID6 160

Thanks in advance.
