help with if

[ng1]

{
if ( $1 != 1 || ($2 == 2 && $3 < 15))
{ print $0 }
}

I am using the above script to try to print out certain criteria.

Here is my practice file:

14 2 5
1 3 8
12 2 12
1 9 8
5 2 18
3 3 25

Here is my desired output:

14 2 5
12 2 12
3 3 25


Here is the output I am getting:

14 2 5
12 2 12
5 2 18 this line should not print!!
3 3 25

For some reason the $3 < 15 part of my script is being ignored. I need a little help with this.

Thanks.

Never mind. I got my script to do what I wanted it to.

The evaluation of this OR logic stops as soon as the first condition is found to be true, so the second part is never tested:

[tt]$1 != 1 || ($2 == 2 && $3 < 15)[/tt]

Annihilannic.

Annihilannic,

Yea, I realized that after looking at the results. Thanks.
