Apache regular expression help

[psili]

I'm retarded and can't get the correct regular expression for a LocationMatch directive in apache-- if anyone could throw it down, I'd much appreciate it:

The URI must begin with either "index.html" or [0-9]{1,5}, else deny it.

I've tried

^/!(index\.html|[0-9]{1,5})

^/([^0-9].*)|!(index\.html)

etc, etc.

any ideas ?

I dont know, but heres a link to check syntax and a bump.

Fuck it, found a work around with mod rewrite

        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteRule !^/[0-9]|index - [F]

Thanks PR_Tom for the bump, though.
