<p>Example code used in my <a href="http://aliteralmind.wordpress.com/2014/03/02/regex_numeric_range">blog post</a>: How to use regular expressions to validate number-ranges. This confirms a user-input number is a valid number by reading a string an testing it is numeric before converting it to an it--this loops until a valid number is provided.</p>
