I want to match a number between 2-16, spanning 1 digit to 2 digits.
Regular-Expressions.info has examples for 1 or 2 digit ranges, but not something that spans both:
(^[2-9]$|^1[0-6]$)
By specifying start and stop for each set of numbers you are looking for your regex won't also return 36, 46, ... and so on. I tried the above solution and found that this works best for staying within the range of 2-16.
