Counting number of record meeting condition

[hhchenfx]

Hi Everyone,

I have value file having 1 variable "value" and a level file which has different level.

I want to create a new file that count the number of record in value file that fall in the range specified in level file.

For the data below, the range [-1  to 0.5] has 4 record; [0.5 to 1.5] has 1 record; [1.5 to 2.5] has 1 record.

Thank you for your help.
