you don't have a valid option for 2009 !!
2008 works just fine however.
Code:
[2][0][0][0-8])

I'm confused on why you're using braces around some of the numbers where there's exactly one option?
[2][0][0][0-8]) vs 200[0-8]

PS: additionally you could use tr's [:toupper:] or [:tolower:] function to modify your month input so you don't have to guess at every upper/lower case input your users might try to use.

TOUPPER(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							TOUPPER(3)

NAME
toupper, tolower - convert letter to upper or lower case SYNOPSIS
#include <ctype.h> int toupper(int c); int tolower(int c); DESCRIPTION
toupper() converts the letter c to upper case, if possible. tolower() converts the letter c to lower case, if possible. If c is not an unsigned char value, or EOF, the behavior of these functions is undefined. RETURN VALUE
The value returned is that of the converted letter, or c if the conversion was not possible. CONFORMING TO
C89, C99, 4.3BSD. BUGS
The details of what constitutes an uppercase or lowercase letter depend on the current locale. For example, the default "C" locale does not know about umlauts, so no conversion is done for them. In some non-English locales, there are lowercase letters with no corresponding uppercase equivalent; the German sharp s is one example. SEE ALSO
