Oh, I see. Can you give an example of a line that is being printed, but should not be? It seems to work for me. Please, use <c> tags around the data as well as code.

its working for me wen the positions are same but for few in a file wer the positions are changing how to deal with them there might be 30-40 lines with varied positions hw do i deal with them.

Can you give an example?

Do you mean that there are lines where you want to compare fields 3 and 11, and other lines where you want to compare, say, 6 and 8, and others where fields 2 and 9 are relevant? If that's what you mean, then I suggest you provide us with the rules that decide which fields are of relevance. If this is not what you mean, then yeah, maybe you should give us an example to show what you mean.

14975:50417 1:N:0:CGATGT - chr11 108607098 GCTAGCTTACAGGTCACCTTGCTTGGTGTGGACAGT JJIIJJJGGGIJHHHFJJJIJJJHHHHHFFFFFCCC 0 33:A>T,34:G>C 14975:50417 2:N:0:CGATGT + chr11 89267281 TCATGAAGTATAAAGTTACAGGGTGGTGATGTGATT CCCFFFFFBHHHFIJIIIIIIIJAFH<FFHIGIIIJ 0


my code shud not be printing this line because here both fields are equal but it does because there are sm extra tabs. how do i tell it to compare only those fields starting with chr in a given line?
