Help with if loop (string comparison)

Hi

Can someone please tell me what is wrong with this (ksh)..

Code:

	if [[ ${COMP_TEMP} = [0-9]+ ]] then
		echo ${COMP_TEMP}
	fi

What i need here is, say if the variable is a 1 or 2 digit number, then execute the if loop. Basically the variable can either be 1-30 or some other character sequence say '?', '&&' etc

Thanks.
