Michael,
If by "character" you mean ANY character, then the following may work:
.{5,}[0-9]|....[0-9].|...[0-9]..|..[0-9]...|.[0-9]....|[0-9].{5,}
If by "character" you mean alphanumeric, then replace the periods with
whatever character set you want, eg:
[a-zA-Z0-0]{5,}[0-9]| ... etc
This a brute force technique, but should work nicely.
Good luck,
