If you want to use regular expressions to know if some numerical value is higher then 199 use the following code:

^\d{1,2}$|^[1]\d\d$

Explanation:

^ = String begins with

\d = numerical string (character 0-9)

{1,2} = minimal 1 maximum 2 numerical characters

$ = end script

| = OR (to bind 2 regular expressions)

^ = begins with

[1] = first character = 1 (if you want to go till 299 it may be [1-2])
