I think I see the problem now.
You need to delimit the string:
^[0-9]{1,5}(-[0-9]{3})?$
Add the "^" and the "$" and it should work for you.

I just tested this with the RegexCoach and it worked.
"[0-9]{1,5}(-[0-9]{3})?"
12345-123 = Passes
12345-12 = Fails
12345 = Passes
Can you show some examples of what you consider good and bad?
Thanks

The problem with this is that the [0-9]{1,5} part will accept "123456"
as true, which it technically is, but not what is wanted. It should only
allow 1 to 5 digits in the first part, but not more. That's the problem.
