Subject: RE: Simple Regular Expression?

I'm not sure if someone already answered this, but you should anchor the
start and end of the strings.  This pattern might do it, but it's not
tested:

"^(0|5|10|15|20|25|30|35|40|45|50)$"

I am using the cfinput tag, validate="regular_expression" and I am
totally confusing myself on trying to work out what the pattern should
equal.
Basically I want the user to only be allowed to enter one of the
following values

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50

They cannot enter anything else i.e. 55

I tried using the following pattern "(0|5|10|15|20|25|30|35|40|45|50)"
but I do not think I an fully understanding this as part of the
validation works but it also allows 55 to be entered, I think that is
because the individual value 5 is allowed? Can anyone give me some
pointers?
