Within or in means inside of and they can usually be switched out but within is more formal so you could say "the comb lied within the box" and also say " the comb lied in tbs box" and both are correct but the sentence using within sounds fancier

Here they are interchangeable, but "within" usually implies a certain confinement or time frame.
