[quote author="aquariuz" date="1254845365"][0-23] means: 0 to 2, plus 3. So basically it means 0 to 3. As soon as a 4 or higher appears in the first segment, the regular expression fails.[/quote] Just wanted to confirm this as correct and elucidate. Regex works on characters individually - to a regex there is no number greater than 9. 90 is not bigger than 9, because it is actually just a 9 and a 0 that happen to be next to each other. To get a number less than one-hundred you might try, for instance "/[0-9][0-9]/" - but again it will not behave as expected as it will match the 1 and the 0 of the number 100.
