conditional statement
Hi all,

The following code is to find if a list of numbers from one file are within the range in another file.

awk -F, '\
BEGIN {
while ((getline < "file2") > 0)
file2[$2]=$3
}
{for (col1 in file2)
if ($0>=30 && $1<=45)
print $0} ' FILE1

But where I have the number 30 and 45, I want this to refer to column1 and column 2, respectively of another file (FILE1) and print from FILE1 if the conditional statement is true. I feel I am almost there!

Thanx
Sabz

How are your input files formatted?

Do you want to match line for line?

Hi cfajohnson,

Not line for line. The files are also not the same length
File 1 is tab delimited:
10 8
30 44
50 59
94 96

File 2 is:
25 29
38 41
49 54

So the code should "for each line in file 2, loop file1 and if column1(file2) is >= column1(File1) AND column2(file2) is <=column2(file1), then print the matching line from File1.

Thankyou
