filter above value

[Pol8]

Hi,

I have a 3 columns file (conting name, lenght, number of reads).

How can I select the only contigs that are at least 500nt in lenght and that have at least 1000 reads mapping?

Is there a command to do that, even in different steps?

Thanks

If your file is tab separated following will work. If you have some other field separator then change \t accordingly. Following assumes that you only have numbers in columns 2 and 3.

$ awk -F'\t' '{ if ($2 >= 500 && $3 >= 1000) print $0}' your_file

If above does not work then post a small sample of your file.

It works perfect!
