试图用一个正则表达式覆盖整个世界是不完全可能的，当然也不可行，也不推荐。

不是自吹自擂，但我已经写了一些非常全面的正则表达式，你可能会觉得有用。

如果不把东西邮寄到某个地址，并让那个人在收到时告诉你，就不可能保证准确性，但我们可以通过排除我们知道是不好的情况来缩小范围。

你为什么要这么做，你为什么这么在乎?正如Tom Ritter所指出的，你是否有一个ZIP/邮政编码并不重要，更不用说它是否有效了，除非你真的要把东西发送到那个地址。即使你希望有一天你会给他们寄东西，这并不意味着你今天就需要邮政编码。

没有。

世界各地的邮政/邮政编码并不遵循一个共同的模式。在一些国家，它们由数字组成，在其他国家，它们可以是数字和字母的组合，有些可以包含空格，有些可以包含点，字符的数量从2个到至少6个不等……

你能做的(理论上)是为世界上每个国家创建一个单独的正则表达式，我不推荐。但是您仍然会忽略验证部分:邮政编码12345可能存在，但12346不存在，也许12344也不存在。你如何用正则表达式检查它?

你不能。

Big Jump忘记了换行符、空格和控制字符。

国际邮政编码是一个难以解决的问题。

unicode CLDR包含每个国家的邮政编码正则表达式。(总共158个正则表达式!)

从http://unicode.org/Public/cldr/26.0.1/下载core.zip 解压缩core.zip 从解压缩的内容(直接内容:common/ supplementary /postalCodeData.xml)中查看common/ supplementary /postalCodeData.xml

谷歌还有一个web服务，提供每个国家的地址格式信息，包括邮政编码，网址是http://i18napis.appspot.com/address (我通过http://unicode.org/review/pri180/找到了这个链接)

考虑到每个国家都有如此多的边缘情况(例如。伦敦地址可能使用与英国其他地区略有不同的格式)我不认为有一个终极正则表达式，除了可能:

[0-9a-zA-Z]+

最好是使用一个相当广泛的模式(好吧，不像上面那么广泛)，或者用自己的特定模式对待每个国家/地区!

更新:然而，它可能动态地构造一个正则表达式基于许多更小的，特定于区域的规则-虽然不确定性能!

在RegExLib网站上可以找到许多特定国家的模式。
