以下是我们处理英国邮政编码问题的方法:

^([A-Za-z]{1,2}[0-9]{1,2}[A-Za-z]?[ ]?)([0-9]{1}[A-Za-z]{2})$

解释:

期望有1或2个a-z字符，上或下都没问题 预期有1到2个数字 期望0或1个a-z字符，上或下精细 允许使用可选空间 期望1个数字 期望有2个a-z，上下都没问题

这将获得大多数格式，然后我们使用db来验证邮政编码是否真实，该数据由openpoint https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/opendatadownload/products.html驱动

希望这能有所帮助

我一直在寻找一个英国邮政编码正则表达式的最后一天左右，无意中发现了这个线程。我尝试了上面的大部分建议，但没有一个对我有用，所以我想出了自己的正则表达式，据我所知，它捕获了截至1月13日的所有有效的英国邮政编码(根据皇家邮政的最新文献)。

The regex and some simple postcode checking PHP code is posted below. NOTE:- It allows for lower or uppercase postcodes and the GIR 0AA anomaly but to deal with the, more than likely, presence of a space in the middle of an entered postcode it also makes use of a simple str_replace to remove the space before testing against the regex. Any discrepancies beyond that and the Royal Mail themselves don't even mention them in their literature (see http://www.royalmail.com/sites/default/files/docs/pdf/programmers_guide_edition_7_v5.pdf and start reading from page 17)!

注意:在皇家邮政自己的文献中(链接以上)，第3和第4位的位置略有模糊，如果这些字符是字母，则例外。我直接联系了皇家邮政，用他们自己的话说，“AANA NAA格式的出境代码的第4个位置的信件没有例外，而第3个位置的例外只适用于ANA NAA格式的出境代码的最后一个字母。”直接从马嘴里说出来的!

<?php

    $postcoderegex = '/^([g][i][r][0][a][a])$|^((([a-pr-uwyz]{1}([0]|[1-9]\d?))|([a-pr-uwyz]{1}[a-hk-y]{1}([0]|[1-9]\d?))|([a-pr-uwyz]{1}[1-9][a-hjkps-uw]{1})|([a-pr-uwyz]{1}[a-hk-y]{1}[1-9][a-z]{1}))(\d[abd-hjlnp-uw-z]{2})?)$/i';

    $postcode2check = str_replace(' ','',$postcode2check);

    if (preg_match($postcoderegex, $postcode2check)) {

        echo "$postcode2check is a valid postcode<br>";

    } else {

        echo "$postcode2check is not a valid postcode<br>";

    }

?>

我希望它能帮助其他遇到这条线索寻找解决方案的人。

看看本页的python代码:

I've got some postcode parsing to do. The requirement is pretty simple; I have to parse a postcode into an outcode and (optional) incode. The good new is that I don't have to perform any validation - I just have to chop up what I've been provided with in a vaguely intelligent manner. I can't assume much about my import in terms of formatting, i.e. case and embedded spaces. But this isn't the bad news; the bad news is that I have to do it all in RPG. :-( Nevertheless, I threw a little Python function together to clarify my thinking.

我用它来处理邮政编码。

^([A-PR-UWYZ0-9][A-HK-Y0-9][AEHMNPRTVXY0-9]?[ABEHMNPRVWXY0-9]? {1,2}[0-9][ABD-HJLN-UW-Z]{2}|GIR 0AA)$

Regular expression to match valid UK postcodes. In the UK postal system not all letters are used in all positions (the same with vehicle registration plates) and there are various rules to govern this. This regex takes into account those rules. Details of the rules: First half of postcode Valid formats [A-Z][A-Z][0-9][A-Z] [A-Z][A-Z][0-9][0-9] [A-Z][0-9][0-9] [A-Z][A-Z][0-9] [A-Z][A-Z][A-Z] [A-Z][0-9][A-Z] [A-Z][0-9] Exceptions Position - First. Contraint - QVX not used Position - Second. Contraint - IJZ not used except in GIR 0AA Position - Third. Constraint - AEHMNPRTVXY only used Position - Forth. Contraint - ABEHMNPRVWXY Second half of postcode Valid formats [0-9][A-Z][A-Z] Exceptions Position - Second and Third. Contraint - CIKMOV not used

下面是一个基于链接到marcj答案的文档中指定格式的正则表达式:

/^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9][0-9A-Z]? ?[0-9][A-Z]{2}$/

这和规格之间的唯一区别是，根据规格，最后两个字符不能在[CIKMOV]中。

编辑: 下面是另一个测试末尾字符限制的版本。

/^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9][0-9A-Z]? ?[0-9][A-BD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2}$/

我建议你看看英国政府的邮政编码数据标准[链接现在死了;XML的存档，参见维基百科的讨论]。这里有关于数据的简要描述，附带的xml模式提供了一个正则表达式。这可能不是你想要的，但会是一个很好的起点。RegEx与XML略有不同，因为给定的定义允许在格式A9A 9AA中第三个位置的P字符。

英国政府提供的正则表达式为:

([Gg][Ii][Rr] 0[Aa]{2})|((([A-Za-z][0-9]{1,2})|(([A-Za-z][A-Ha-hJ-Yj-y][0-9]{1,2})|(([A-Za-z][0-9][A-Za-z])|([A-Za-z][A-Ha-hJ-Yj-y][0-9][A-Za-z]?))))\s?[0-9][A-Za-z]{2})

正如维基百科讨论中指出的那样，这将允许一些非真实的邮政编码(例如以AA, ZY开头的邮政编码)，并且它们确实提供了一个更严格的测试，您可以尝试一下。
