Hi Chuck,
I do not understand fully what you want, but lets try.
Getting x-y pairs can be done simpler by:
pts=Transpose[{x,y}]
Now assume you want to set y values belonging to x values outside [a,b]
to zero, you would define an anonymous function and map it onto your
points. The function checks if x is in range and returns the argument
unchanged if so, otherwise it sets the y value to zero:
(If[a<=#[[1]]<=b,#,{#[[1]],0}])& /@ pts
