I have a set of questions that should only be displayed to respondents age 18 - 24. I have used the regular expression /([1-2][8-4])/ as the condition and it does not work. What am I doing wrong?

If i use greater than or equal to 18, it works, but I need it to be <=24 & >=18 and it will not accept this logic, it will create an OR condition instead of an AND scenario.

I have also tried /(1[8-9]|2[0-4])/ to no avail. Admittedly I do not understand regular expressions much, I must not have paid attention to this in college.

Which Limesurvey version do you use?

Did you test your regex by using a regex validator?

Do other simplier regex work when being used as conditions?
