path pattern which matches only 6 symbols hashes in express.js

Question

Is it possible to write a pattern like:

.get('/:pattern' ...

which matches only 6 symbols hashes? How can I get this hash inside handler function? Example of a hash: mBe8s0

app.get('/:pattern([A-Za-z0-9]{5}$)', function (req, res){
    res.send(req.params.pattern);
});

How can I get a value of `:pattern` in such case? – kharandziuk Aug 31 '15 at 11:29
You can use req.url, which returns /pattern So just remove slash and you can use pattern – Hiren S. Aug 31 '15 at 11:31

Surely this matches 5 characters not 6? – George Reith Aug 31 '15 at 11:42
