Question find the file names having specified pattern at specified position in the current directory

I would need a command for finding first 15000 of the file names whose 25th postion is 5 in the current directory alone.


I do have this painful command

find . -name '[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]5*' | head -15000 | cut -c3-

please refine this.

Of course the above command also searches in the sub directories which I dont want.

please dont use 'maxdepth' since it would not work on my unix.Smilie

appreciate your help!
