Hello jeo_fb,

Sorry but this is NOT the way UNIX.com forums work. We do encourage people to add their efforts which they have put in order to solve their own problems, so please do add your efforts in your question and let us know then. Your question is also NOT having clear information about how you want to achieve your goal, so kindly do add the rules, conditions and logic by which you want to achieve your goal.

Thanks,
R. Singh

Hello again,

I made many efforts for sure my code is below;

Code:
awk '$1 >=37.0000 && $1 <= 37.5000 && $1 >=39.0000 && $1 <= 39.5000 && $1>=36.5000 && $1 <=41.0000 {print $0}' txtfile

However it did not work correctly.

interesting puzzle!
Are you saying one has to "draw" an imaginary rectangle frame given the input coordinates?
I'm saying "imaginary", because the desired output coordinates are not in your input file.

Very interesting puzzle, but I'm not sure of the algorithm - it's definitely not what you tried.

I was thinking the same thing; but refrained from commenting .....

But I had trouble seeing any tangible relationship between the "attempt" and the original post.

I think better we tag this thread amber again and ask the OP to perform a "real attempt" to solve his problem, and add the output or error messages in reply before offering more answers.

Hi again,

I want to select lines in an imaginary rectangle frame whose corners are;

Code:
 Latitude Longitude
37.0000 36.5000
37.5000 36.5000
39.5000 41.0000
39.0000 41.0000
37.0000 36.5000

For example I do not want to line including;
39.0000 38.0000
Because it is not in the rectangle.

I hope I could explain my problem.
Thank you.

Not being a native speaker, I think this is not a rectangle. It is a parallelogram or a rhombus / rhomboid.

This is a coordinate pair, a point in a plane. A line needs at least one more point.

Because it is not in the rectangle.
Should a line dissect that geometric shape, or lie entirely within?


Pls tell us how to interpret your "coordinate list".
