variable numerical test

Hi

I have a variable which should be any number between 1 and 50.

It could also be any string/empty string.

I have a code written below. The point is when the variable contains string.
I don't want the code below to error out. Instead fall in the else bucket.


Code:
[ $var -lt 1 -o $var -gt 50 ] && dothis_1 || dothis_2
