Hi Monks,

I have strings like start range and end range and i have to check whether the given value falls in the given range. For example,

$startrange = 'AC23D';
$endrange = 'D25ET';
$givenvalue = 'C3RK5';

I tried to generate all the values between start range and end range using for loop, but i am getting alphabetic range or numeric range, For example, 

for (aa..zz) or for ( 1..1000) or for (a2..g5) #working fine
for (A12Z..B23Z) #not working if number comes in between alphabets

If i have both alphabets and numbers in the range, i could not able to generate the range properly.

How can i check whether the given value falls in the given range. (maximum characters is 5 only as in the example).
