Data Need help in searching a file by range

hi,

i need to search a file by range, the file (f3.txt) contains:

Code:
x1=0123318739
x2=0120123456
x3=0120453576
x4=0110445654
x5=0120432343
x6=0129423
x7=0104323433
x8=01232132134
x9=0122344242
x10=012006196
x11=012016546
x12=012091235
x13=0121064598
x14=012194562
x15=0122028556
x16=0122946532
x17=01230894565
x18=0123954858
x19=0120013655

the range is from 01201 to 0122
i used this command

Code:
$ grep 012[01-2] f3.txt

output :

Code:
x2=0120123456
x3=0120453576
x5=0120432343
x9=0122344242
x10=012006196
x11=012016546
x12=012091235
x13=0121064598
x14=012194562
x15=0122028556
x16=0122946532
x19=0120013655


i noticed that x10 and x19 is out of range but it's included
Code:

x10=012006196
x19=0120013655



i don't know why 00 is in the output range while my start range suppose to be from 01201xxxxx to 0122xxxxxx

i'm new in unix so i know it's a stupid question but i need a solution for this problem if you please.>>

ppmtosixel(1)                                                 General Commands Manual                                                ppmtosixel(1)

NAME
ppmtosixel - convert a portable pixmap into DEC sixel format SYNOPSIS
ppmtosixel [-raw] [-margin] [ppmfile] DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces sixel commands (SIX) as output. The output is formatted for color printing, e.g. for a DEC LJ250 color inkjet printer. If RGB values from the PPM file do not have maxval=100, the RGB values are rescaled. A printer control header and a color assignment table begin the SIX file. Image data is written in a compressed format by default. A printer control footer ends the image file. OPTIONS
-raw If specified, each pixel will be explicitly described in the image file. If -raw is not specified, output will default to com- pressed format in which identical adjacent pixels are replaced by "repeat pixel" commands. A raw file is often an order of magni- tude larger than a compressed file and prints much slower. -margin If -margin is not specified, the image will be start at the left margin (of the window, paper, or whatever). If -margin is speci- fied, a 1.5 inch left margin will offset the image. PRINTING
Generally, sixel files must reach the printer unfiltered. Use the lpr -x option or cat filename > /dev/tty0?. BUGS
Upon rescaling, truncation of the least significant bits of RGB values may result in poor color conversion. If the original PPM maxval was greater than 100, rescaling also reduces the image depth. While the actual RGB values from the ppm file are more or less retained, the color palette of the LJ250 may not match the colors on your screen. This seems to be a printer limitation. SEE ALSO
