Numeric range with regular expression

Question

I need a regular expression to find a number in the range [40010-40100]. I tried with this 40[0-1][0-9][0-9] but it doesn't work. Could someone help me?

This is not a good use of regular expressions. What scripting language are you using? — Jason McCreary, May 16 '11 at 14:05

This should do : (40100|400[1-9][0-9])

Here you go...

40(0([1-9][0-9])|100)

Try the following

40((0[1-9][0-9])|(100))

Although this is not a great task for a regular expression. It would be much easier to simply do a range comparison on the number

/400[1-9][0-9]|40100/

Why oh why can't I just post the answer without an "Oops!"?
