Make a nested list in a loop!

initdata = Import[datadir, "Data"];
f = 1;
Do[
 If[omin <= initdata[[e, 2]] <= omax, data[f] = initdata[e]; f = f +
1]
, {e, 1, Length[initdata]}];


Can someone please help, I'm trying to create a nested list from some
data that is already as a nested list. Basically initdata has loads of
rows but only 5 columns and looks as follow:

{{a,b,c,d,e},{f,g,h,i,j},{k...etc.

I'm trying to reduce the number of rows by comparing the 2nd column of
each row to a predefined maximum and minimum (omax, omin
respectively). Then if this value is accepted, the whole row gets
nested into the new 'data' array.

Running the code as is above I get the following errors:

"Symbol::argx: Symbol called with arguments; 1 argument is expected"

Thanks for any help in advance.
Seb
