Print a message if a condition is met

Hi all, I have 8 ranges:

 [ x(1) , x(2) ]  ,  [ x(2) , x(3) ] ... [ x(7) , x(8) ]

memorized in a column-vector, x :

 x = [x(1); x(2); ... ; x(8)]

and 7 values

 p(1), p(2), ... , p(7)

I have to print only the values that are included in the corresponding range,

 x(1) < p(1) &  p(1) < x(2)
 x(2) < p(2) &  p(2) < x(3)

... so

 x(1:end-1) < p(1:end) & p(1:end) < x(2:end)

With:

 disp(find(~(x(1:end-1) < p(1:end) & p(1:end) < x(2:end))))

I print all the values that are outside of own range.

My goal is print also the values that are inside of own range. Thanks

Maybe I am missing something but can't you just remove the ~?

disp(find((x(1:end-1) < p(1:end) & p(1:end) < x(2:end))))

x = [1;2;3;4];
p = [1.5;3.5;3.2];
idx = x(1:end-1)<p & p<x(2:end);
SOL = p(idx)

xa = [3;5;7;9;11;13;15;17];
ya = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20];
res = ya(find(ya>xa(1)& ya<xa(end)&~ismember(ya,xa)));
disp(res)
