title: Match Numbers and Letters of the Alphabet
challengeType: 1
---
## Description
<section id='description'>
Using the hyphen (<code>-</code>) to match a range of characters is not limited to letters. It also works to match a range of numbers.
For example, <code>/[0-5]/</code> matches any number between <code>0</code> and <code>5</code>, including the <code>0</code> and <code>5</code>.
Also, it is possible to combine a range of letters and numbers in a single character set.
<blockquote>let jennyStr = "Jenny8675309";<br>let myRegex = /[a-z0-9]/ig;<br>// matches all letters and numbers in jennyStr<br>jennyStr.match(myRegex);</blockquote>
</section>
## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Create a single regex that matches a range of letters between <code>h</code> and <code>s</code>, and a range of numbers between <code>2</code> and <code>6</code>. Remember to include the appropriate flags in the regex.
