我发现在几乎所有的变化和regex从批量转移pdf和什么是在维基百科网站上是这样的，特别是维基百科的regex是，需要有一个^后的第一个|(竖条)。我通过测试AA9A 9AA发现了这一点，因为否则A9A 9AA的格式检查将验证它。例如，检查应该无效的EC1D 1BB返回有效，因为C1D 1BB是有效的格式。

以下是我想出的一个好的正则表达式:

^([G][I][R] 0[A]{2})|^((([A-Z-[QVX]][0-9]{1,2})|([A-Z-[QVX]][A-HK-Y][0-9]{1,2})|([A-Z-[QVX]][0-9][ABCDEFGHJKPSTUW])|([A-Z-[QVX]][A-HK-Y][0-9][ABEHMNPRVWXY])) [0-9][A-Z-[CIKMOV]]{2})$

这个允许两边有空格和制表符，以防你不想验证失败，然后在另一边修剪它。

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

下面的方法将检查邮政编码并提供完整的信息

const isValidUKPostcode = postcode => {
    try {
        postcode = postcode.replace(/\s/g, "");
        const fromat = postcode
            .toUpperCase()
            .match(/^([A-Z]{1,2}\d{1,2}[A-Z]?)\s*(\d[A-Z]{2})$/);
        const finalValue = `${fromat[1]} ${fromat[2]}`;
        const regex = /^([Gg][Ii][Rr] 0[Aa]{2})|((([A-Za-z][0-9]{1,2})|(([A-Za-z][A-Ha-hJ-Yj-y][0-9]{1,2})|(([AZa-z][0-9][A-Za-z])|([A-Za-z][A-Ha-hJ-Yj-y][0-9]?[A-Za-z]))))[0-9][A-Za-z]{2})$/i;
        return {
            isValid: regex.test(postcode),
            formatedPostCode: finalValue,
            error: false,
            message: 'It is a valid postcode'
        };
    } catch (error) {
        return { error: true , message: 'Invalid postcode'};
    }
};

console.log(isValidUKPostcode('GU348RR'))
{isValid: true, formattedPostcode: "GU34 8RR", error: false, message: "It is a valid postcode"}

console.log(isValidUKPostcode('sdasd4746asd'))
{error: true, message: "Invalid postcode!"}

valid_postcode('787898523')
result => {error: true, message: "Invalid postcode"}

我需要一个可以在SAS中使用PRXMATCH和相关函数的版本，所以我想到了这个:

^[A-PR-UWYZ](([A-HK-Y]?\d\d?)|(\d[A-HJKPSTUW])|([A-HK-Y]\d[ABEHMNPRV-Y]))\s?\d[ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2}$

测试用例和注意事项:

/* 
Notes
The letters QVX are not used in the 1st position.
The letters IJZ are not used in the second position.
The only letters to appear in the third position are ABCDEFGHJKPSTUW when the structure starts with A9A.
The only letters to appear in the fourth position are ABEHMNPRVWXY when the structure starts with AA9A.
The final two letters do not use the letters CIKMOV, so as not to resemble digits or each other when hand-written.
*/

/*
    Bits and pieces
    1st position (any):         [A-PR-UWYZ]         
    2nd position (if letter):   [A-HK-Y]
    3rd position (A1A format):  [A-HJKPSTUW]
    4th position (AA1A format): [ABEHMNPRV-Y]
    Last 2 positions:           [ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]

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。

在这个列表中添加一个更实用的正则表达式，允许用户输入一个空字符串:

^$|^(([gG][iI][rR] {0,}0[aA]{2})|((([a-pr-uwyzA-PR-UWYZ][a-hk-yA-HK-Y]?[0-9][0-9]?)|(([a-pr-uwyzA-PR-UWYZ][0-9][a-hjkstuwA-HJKSTUW])|([a-pr-uwyzA-PR-UWYZ][a-hk-yA-HK-Y][0-9][abehmnprv-yABEHMNPRV-Y]))) {0,1}[0-9][abd-hjlnp-uw-zABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2}))$

这个正则表达式允许大写字母和小写字母，中间有可选的空格

从软件开发人员的角度来看，这个正则表达式对于地址可能是可选的软件很有用。例如，如果用户不想提供他们的地址详细信息
