Hey...you've got that right now...kind of.

Go back to the manual, please. Your ereg string is only matching (or
looking to match) one character. You are looking for a single character
in your string that is a 2 or 2 or 0 to 2 or 2 or 3 or 0. That'll match
"2221" every time...
Why are you using ereg when a less than / greater than will work faster
and easier?
