title: One liner with awk selecting a range between negative to positive values?
body: <p>I am trying to run an awk command to select few columns of a .txt file with a particular range of values for a specific column. I am using column 10 which has distance scores both positive and negative and I want to select few column from that file for the interval -1000 to 1000 for the column 10. I used the below command but it does not run</p>
  
  <pre><code>awk -v OFS='\t' '{if($10 &gt;= -1000 &amp;&amp; $10 &lt;= 1000)print $2,$3,$4,$5,$8,$10$16} file.txt &gt; promoter.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it fails.</p>
  
  <p>My file looks like below</p>

  <p>Now the output on the above should exclude two rows which are outside of range -1000 to 1000. But this command does not seems to work. Where am I getting wrong.</p>
