# --description--
Using the hyphen (`-`) to match a range of characters is not limited to letters. It also works to match a range of numbers.
For example, `/[0-5]/` matches any number between `0` and `5`, including the `0` and `5`.
Also, it is possible to combine a range of letters and numbers in a single character set.
```js
let jennyStr = "Jenny8675309";
let myRegex = /[a-z0-9]/ig;
// matches all letters and numbers in jennyStr
jennyStr.match(myRegex);
```
# --instructions--
Create a single regex that matches a range of letters between `h` and `s`, and a range of numbers between `2` and `6`. Remember to include the appropriate flags in the regex.
# --hints--
Your regex `myRegex` should match 17 items.
```js
assert(result.length == 17);
```
Your regex `myRegex` should use the global flag.
```js
assert(myRegex.flags.match(/g/).length == 1);
```
Your regex `myRegex` should use the case insensitive flag.
```js
assert(myRegex.flags.match(/i/).length == 1);
```

```js
let quoteSample = "Blueberry 3.141592653s are delicious.";
let myRegex = /change/; // Change this line
let result = myRegex; // Change this line
```
# --solutions--
```js
let quoteSample = "Blueberry 3.141592653s are delicious.";
let myRegex = /[h-s2-6]/gi; // Change this line
let result = quoteSample.match(myRegex); // Change this line
```
