Roots in the intervals

Help me please to fix the line! The line "For.." works and prints intervals which don't contain roots. And I have to output the remaining intervals which include roots. (I know that these intervals should be 2) I tried the ! But it is somehow wrong :(

X = {-2, 6}
spx = {-2, -1.90577, -1.81153, -1.59327, -1.375, -1.35785, -1.3407,    -1.24655, -1.22941, -1.11811, -0.934054, -0.80167, -0.75, -0.625,-0.5, -0.25, -0.0981238, 0.303752, 0.651876, 0.94833, 1, 1.5, 1.75,2.11731, 2.5, 2.5625, 2.625, 3.3125, 3.75, 4, 4.00964, 4.01928,4.25964, 4.36731, 4.5, 4.75, 5, 5.25, 5.5, 5.75, 6}

Why don't you use the else of your If?

For[i = 1, i < Length@spfn, i++,
 If[((0 < spfn[[i]]) && (0 < spfn[[i + 1]])) || ((spfw[[i]] < 
       0) && (spfw[[i + 1]] < 0)), 
  Print["1) exist no roots on: {", spx[[i]], ";", spx[[i + 1]], 
   "}"], (* else *)
   Print["2) exists a root on: {", spx[[i]], ";", spx[[i + 1]], "}"]
  ]

Counter of "2)" Events is 5, not 2. So still you have to fix something with the conditions.
