Dear group:

I need some tips/help from experts.

I have two files tab-delimted.
One file is 4K lines. The other files is 40K lines.

I want to search contents of a file to other and print those lines that satisfy.


File 1:
chr         X           Y
chr1    8337733 8337767 NM_001042682_cds_0_0_chr1_8337734_r     0       -       
RERE
chr1    8338065 8338246 NM_001042682_cds_1_0_chr1_8338066_r     0       -       
RERE
chr1    8338746 8338893 NM_001042682_cds_2_0_chr1_8338747_r     0       -       
RERE
chr1    8340842 8341563 NM_001042682_cds_3_0_chr1_8340843_r     0       -       
RERE
chr1    8342410 8342633 NM_001042682_cds_4_0_chr1_8342411_r     0       -       
RERE


File 2:
Chr          X         Y
chr1    871490  871491
chr1    925085  925086
chr1    980143  980144
chr1    1548655 1548656
chr1    1589675 1589676
chr1    1977853 1977854
chr1    3384899 3384900
chr1    3406309 3406310
chr1    3732274 3732275


I want to search if file 2 X is greater or less then X and Y and print line of 
file 2 and last column of file 1:


I don't understand your desired result. Could you post a very simplified example of file1 and 2 and the desired result.

for j in file2:
         col = j.split('\t')
          for k in file1:

Note that the first time this loop is executed it will leave file2 at eof. Subsequent executions of this loop will process no lines as file2 is at eof.
          cols = k.split('\t')
           if col[1]>  cols[1]:

Note that this compares 2 strings; which may not give the same result as integer comparison.

                  if col[1]<  cols[2]:
                  print j +'\t'+cols[6]


This prints a lot of duplicate lines and is slow.  Is there any other way I can 
make it fast.

In file 1, how a dictionary can be made. I mean unique keys that are common to 
file 1 and 2.

thanks
Kumar.
