Outputting 1 file per row if pattern exists between files

I have many files that can have various amounts of rows. I essentially want to output each row into a new file if a pattern is matched between two files.

I have some code that does something similar but I want it to output every single input row from every file into a separate output file; that is, 1 output per row. The names of the output can be something like bat.1.outpu2_1, bat.1.output2_2, etc..

The input file can look like this for example:

Code:
 name,start,end
bat.1,231, 234
bat.1,230, 232


The file I want to match looks like this:

Code:
 V1 V2  V3 V4 V5    V6 V7 V8
  0 230 -77 -1  D     xx  0  0
  1 231 -77  0  R      tt  0  0
  2 232 -77  1  T     yy  0  0
  3 233 -76 -1  Y     uu  0  0
  4 234 -76  0  U     re  0  0
  5 235 -76  1  I      dd  0  0


the code I have to do this is :

Code:
[[ ! -d odir_30for ]] && mkdir odir_30for
for f in enriched_chunks/*.output
do
   infile=${f##*/}
   infile="${infile%[.]output}"
   awk '
   NR==2 { b=$2; e=$3+30;}
   NR>FNR {$0=" " $0; if (($2>=b) && ($2<=e)) o=o $6;}
   END {of=FILENAME; sub(".*/", "", of) ;  print of; print o}
   ' FS=, "$f" FS="[ \t]*" output_transcripts3/output2/"$infile" > odir_30for/"$infile".output2
done


how can I generate an output for each row in a file, for many files? Right now the above code will only output a single row.

output should look like this:

bat.1_1
Code:
bat.1_1
RTYU

bat.1_2
Code:
bat.1_2
DRT

Maybe it's me, but i don't get the logic of the example you gave.
Providing a code sample should not be a reason not to take the time to explain the logic you follow.
That would be nice for the readers if you could fully explain the logic you want your output to be built with (without waiting for people to reverse engineer your whole code).
Thanks for your understanding

Apologies for being unclear. Im trying compare values between files and if they match I want to extract some characters in between those values for many files. They are in two directories and have the same filename but one ends in .enr. They look like this.

Code:
cat bat.1.enr

Code:
name,start,end
bat.1,233, 235
bat.1,230, 232

Code:
head bat.1

Code:
 V1 V2  V3 V4 V5    V6 V7 V8
  0 230 -77 -1  D     xx  0  0
  1 231 -77  0  R      tt  0  0
  2 232 -77  1  T     yy  0  0
  3 233 -76 -1  Y     uu  0  0
  4 234 -76  0  U     re  0  0
  5 235 -76  1  I      dd  0  0

Im essentially trying to extract the characters from column V5 in bat.1 that fall between the lines bat.1.enr that contain the values in column V2 that bat.1.enr has. The output should look like this for this example.

The output should look like this:

Code:
cat bat.1.out_1

Code:
bat.1
YUI

Code:
cat bat.1.out_2

Code:
bat.1
DRT

The number of rows in the file containing the .enr extension can vary from 1 to more than 2.

Try (based on my proposal to your recent similar problem):
Code:
awk -F, 'NR>1   {FN=$1;LL=$2;UL=$3; FNO=++X[$1]
                 FS=" "
                 print $1 > FN".out_" FNO
                 while (getline < FN)
                    if ($2>=LL && $2<=UL) printf "%s", $5 > FN".out_" FNO
                 printf "\n" > FN".out_" FNO
                 close (FN)
                 FS=","
                }
        ' *.enr
cf bat.1.out*
bat.1.out_1:
bat.1
YUI
bat.1.out_2:
bat.1
DRT

This is not necessarily the most efficient solution, as it reads that bat.1 file for every single input line, but in case that file changes often it seems pointless to read it and assign to an array...

Thanks for the response. I have a question. How are you reading in the files that do not have the .enr extension?

Code:
awk -F, 'NR>1   {FN=$1;LL=$2;UL=$3; FNO=++X[$1]
                 FS=" "
                 print $1 > (FN".out_" FNO)
                 while (getline < FN)
                    if ($2>=LL && $2<=UL) printf "%s", $5 > (FN".out_" FNO)
                 printf "\n" > (FN".out_" FNO)
                 close (FN)
                 FS=","
                }
        ' *.enr

The code marked in red above determines the name of the file to be read, reads lines from it, and closes it when it hits EOF. As written this depends on a feature that is left unspecified by the standards. To make it more portable, you might want to add the parentheses shown in light blue surrounding the components of the output file name in all three print and printf statements.
