How to find list of genes nearest to list of intronic sequences

Question

[sebastianzeki0]

I have a range on intronic locations in a bed file. I would like to find out the genes nearest to these sequences (and how far away they are). Is there a simple way to do this? Thanks in advance

Do you have a range to say "nearest" ? can you paste few lines of your bed file ?
