Restrict a column of data by two numerical constraints

I am trying to restrict my data from column 3 in the text file (attached) from numbers 11.78 =< x <= 13.25. For some reason, it is including numbers higher than the upper limit set. How would I fix this/ where am I going wrong?

My code is below:

fidi = fopen('virgoclusterrm.txt','rt');
Glxc  = textscan(fidi, '%s', 'Delimiter','|');
frewind(fidi)
Glxcs = textscan(fidi, '%s', 'EndOfLine','\r\n');
fclose(fidi);
dlen = 18*fix(length(Glxc{:})/18);                          % Set Row Length
Glxcr = reshape(Glxc{:}(1:dlen), 18, [])';    % Reshape & Transpose
LIdx=str2double(Glxcr(:,3))>11.77
LIdx=str2double(Glxcr(:,3))<13.25
NewGlxc = Glxcs{:}(LIdx,:);                                 % Rows Of New Array
fido = fopen('virgoclusterrmra.txt','wt')
fprintf(fido, '%s\n', NewGlxc{:});
fclose(fido)

So, you have 2 lines that define separate values for LIdx. So, the second line overwrites LIdx from the first line such that you're only meeting half the constraints that you want.

You may want to refactor your indices to tackle both upper and lower limits in the same statement:

LIdx= (str2double(Glxcr(:,3))>11.77) & (str2double(Glxcr(:,3))<13.25)
