This will match valid Swiss or German Postal Codes (Swiss are from 1000 - 9999, German from 00000 - 99999):

^(?:[1-9]\d{3}|\d{5})$

A simple one would be (assuming Perl compatible regular expressions)

^(\d{4,5})$

You would still want to validate that it is an actual valid value afterwards (for example, you don't say whether leading zeroes are valid)

^\d{4,5}$

However, this gives you no guarantee whether they really exist.
