Comment:
Randal, this one will actually match the full description of what Clark was looking for in the first place.
^\d{5}-?\d{4}$
Title: Bad "*" in there

Comment:
The "*" in there means this also matches "-1234" and "1234512345". 0 or more groups of 0-5 digits.
A much simper regex is:
^\d{5}(-\d{4})?$
