Numeric ranges
You specify numeric ranges by including its endpoints within angle brackets.
For example, the expression <3-6> produces any of the following tokens:
Note the following limitations when using numeric ranges:
- •You must include the same number of digits in both endpoints. For example, <000-999> is valid syntax, but <0-999> is invalid syntax.
- •Although the expression produces values within a numeric range, it produces them as strings, not integers.
- •Numeric range expressions can produce tokens with leading zeros. For example, the expression <000-999> can produce the tokens 000, 009, and 095.
- •You cannot use negative endpoints.
- •The endpoints must fit within the Java int limit. The maximum allowed value is 2147483647.
