conditional rex in splunk

I have a field called Number and it has got a value like :

| inputlookup Numbers.csv

Number
102
2
45
204
345
100
100
45
21
100
103

If I do | inputlookup Numbers.csv | where Number > 100 then I would get only those number which are greater than 100.

The same thing I wanna achieve using Regular Expression ( REGEX ) to get only those which are greater than 100. It could be 101 , 102, 102...100000000002, 10000000,5000,345,50987,etc.

I did this "| inputlookup Numbers.csv | regex Number="(1|[2-9])(0|[1-9])(1|[2-9])" but , partially working. Kindly help !!

Not entirely sure why you would want to do this with a regex, but this should work I think:

| inputlookup Numbers.csv | regex Number="(10[1-9]|1[1-9][0-9]|[2-9][0-9][0-9]|\d{4,})"

This covers all 4 cases: 101-109,110-199,200-999,1000-...

Alternatively, you could do:

| inputlookup Numbers.csv | regex Number="\d{3,}" | regex Number!="100"

To first get any Number of 3 or more digits and then drop the ones equal to 100.
