I have a need

Just a small add on to John Morris's comment. 
There are plenty of online tools for helping to construct and test Regex
expressions which also function as learning aids. It may be better to
reference these in any FAQ rather than reinvent the wheel to create yet
another explanation of Regex. Regex is a pattern matching search rather than
a numerical search and is probably overkill for just finding a range of
numbers however imported cheque numbers, invoice numbers etc may not also be
strictly numeric or in a form for which a numerical search can be effective
e.g. leading zeroes and alphabettic or symbolic content.
