Java - Regex only 0 or 5

Question

Regular expression only accepts 0 or 5.
Is there a regex expression to evaluate that?
Thanks.

You need to go actually learn regexes. Asking if a regex can do this is like asking whether Java can add numbers, or asking whether cars can move. — user2357112, Nov 24 '16 at 01:03
@user2357112 I don't want to learn regex, I only want to know that. Thanks for subtract me reputation. — dani77, Nov 24 '16 at 01:19

You can use either "0|5" or "[05]". The first is an alternative, the second is a character class. They will behave identically. See the documentation for Pattern for more information on the building blocks for regular expressions.

Read this. And use this:

"^[05]$"

The question is tagged `java` and you're referring OP to .NET documentation? Cool. – Ted Hopp Nov 24 '16 at 01:08
@TedHopp Does Regex Language depends on the language you use it in? – Yevhen Kuzmovych Nov 24 '16 at 01:13
@YevhenKuzmovych not for such a simple regex, but there are huge diffrences between implementations. – Sebastian Proske Nov 24 '16 at 01:16
The basics are pretty much identical, but there are differences. See, e.g., [this thread](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12401794/differences-in-regex-between-java-net-and-javascript) and especially some of the resources linked to from there. – Ted Hopp Nov 24 '16 at 01:18
@TedHopp didn't know. Thanks for information. – Yevhen Kuzmovych Nov 24 '16 at 01:21
