How to query overpass turbo using > and < operators?

Question

I want to use overpass turbo to query data within a certain range of numerical attribute values. For example, I want to find power=line elements with voltage in a range between 100kV and 200kV.

I would have expected that a query like this

way
  [power=line]
  [voltage>100000]
  [voltage<200000]
  ({{bbox}});
(._;>;);
out;

would yield such results. But in this case I receive the error message,

parse error: '!', '~', '=', '!=', or ']' expected - '<' found.

so I presume that > and < operators are not allowed here. Is there any way around this?

Answer 1

According to the Overpass GitHub, there has already been a request for using those operators directly.

However, you can use a regular expression to obtain voltage between 100kV and 200kV:

way
  [power=line]
  [voltage~"^[1][0-9]{5}$"]
  ({{bbox}});
(._;>;);
out;
