How can I search a specific numbers in between two numbers ? On notepad++

Question

I’m new on Notepad++ and I want to know how can I lookup for a numbers in between two numbers:

Like I want to search in a text file full of numbers and words, and I only want to find the numbers between 250-500; so, all the numbers from 250-500 will be in search, in others words, no numbers should be search but only the number between 250-500!

I’m voting to close this question because it has nothing to do with programming. — RamblinRose, Dec 29 '21 at 03:29

    [34]\d\d        # 300 upto 499
