Match all numbers greater than 36 using regex?

Question

How can I match all numbers greater than 36 to any bigger number?

I tried this expression:

[4-9]\d+|\d{3,}

Problem is this will select all number greater than 40 but I need 37, 38 and 39 as well, How can i achieve that?

NOTE: My query is different: I couldn't understand from there so I asked my own question and my query is 100% different. Being similar in some ways is another thing than being duplicate. Peace out.

@Jan So what do you want me to do, if I have similar query and unable to understand the solution to my problem? — Mansoor Akram, Oct 18 '15 at 08:23

Simply adding 3[7-9] (to match 37, 38, 39) will work:

3[7-9]|[4-9]\d+|\d{3,}

UPDATE

To prevent matching numbers like 0001:

3[7-9]|[4-9]\d+|[1-9]\d{2,}

Isn't this going to match '0001' as well? – user1016274 Oct 18 '15 at 08:27
@user1016274, Yes it does. `\d{3,}` part should be modified. Thank you for pointing that out. I updated the answer accordingly. – falsetru Oct 18 '15 at 08:28
@falsetru this regex is perfectly fine but while i was experimenting with my script, I noticed that from '370' to '399' numbers wont be selected. – Mansoor Akram Oct 19 '15 at 06:41

The simplest solution:

37|38|39|[4-9]\d+|\d{3,}

or to exclude numbers starting with 0:

\b(37|38|39|[4-9]\d+|(?!0)\d{3,})\b

It works for range between 10 - 99

[3-9][7-9]|[4-9]\d
