Numeric pattern match

[timbrigham]

I have a data type I would like to search for that consists of the following rough syntax:
A block of textualdatawith some more text.

Is there any simple way to represent the numeric sequence a la bash? I'd like a substitution that would match 50,51,52,..100.

Something similar to seq 50 100 in bash? No, there's no such thing built-in that I know of. It should be a pretty quick custom command to build yourself though.

A data sample would be helpful
