Hello PilotinControl,

What is in $range? If it’s a single integer, then your test will be:

if ($range >= 300 && $range <= 400)

But if $range contains a string such as 310-395, you have two options:

  1. Break the string apart either by using a regex or by splitting on /-/: 
    my ($min, $max) = split /-/, $range;

if ($min >= 300 && $min <= 400 && $max >= 300 && $max <= 400)

  2. Look at using a module such as Set::IntSpan (on which see my meditation Recamán's sequence and memory usage).

Hope that helps,
