I don't think you can "or" in the middle of a character class. I think that
if you wanted to use that approach, you should have a separate character
class for each "or".

Subject: Matching a range
I read a file line by line, on each line if any numbers in the range
specified below exist between comas,
Example:
Line 1> hello,world,123,,
Line 2> The grass,456, is,greener,
Line 3> On,533,the,other, side
Line 4> As, long, as the,10000,grass is watered
Line 5> Bye,world,680,,
print the line to another file. I have tried different variations. In
the
example above and based on my ranges, line 3 & 5 should be printed to
another file. Where am I going wrong?
while (<IN>) {
if
(/,[512..520|528..568|576..578|592..600|608..622|624..670|672..685|768..
771]
,/){
print OUT;
}
}

Dave Chappell
