Regex in new pattern attr for HTML5 forms

I am just using HTML5 forms for the first time and I want to use the new pattern attribute. This is a regular expression (which I haven't used before) so I am 开发者_StackOverflow社区a bit lost. The basic rule I want is 'minimum 5 of any characters'

I have tried:

pattern="([0-9][A-Z]){5}"

but this doesnt work so I am obviosuly missing something obvious. Would be most grateful if anyone could help me out.

The basic rule I want is 'minimum 5 of any characters'

.{5,}

This will match any character (except \n) at least 5 times.

[0-9a-zA-Z]{5,}

--padding for the answer to be accepted by the system (at least) :P
