I would like to limit a string of numbers to 14 digits, and require that the first 5 digits are: 26173. The rest of the digits can be any number between 1-9. Example: 26173000740380.

The regexp 26173\d{9} specifies the first 5 characters must be 26173 and the following 9 characters must be any decimal number \d.
If the remaining 9 characters must be between 1 - 9 you could use 26173[1-9]{9}. Both examples are using java regexp syntax.
