我使用下面的正则表达式，我已经测试了所有有效的英国邮政编码。它基于推荐的规则，但尽可能地精简，并且没有使用任何特殊语言特定的正则表达式规则。

([A-PR-UWYZ]([A-HK-Y][0-9]([0-9]|[ABEHMNPRV-Y])?|[0-9]([0-9]|[A-HJKPSTUW])?) ?[0-9][ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2})

它假定邮政编码已转换为大写，并且没有前导字符或尾随字符，但在出码和入码之间接受可选空格。

特殊的“GIR0 0AA”邮政编码被排除在外，并且不会生效，因为它不在官方邮局的邮政编码列表中，据我所知，它不会被用作注册地址。如果需要，作为特殊情况添加它应该是微不足道的。

^([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

通过经验测试和观察，以及https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postcodes_in_the_United_Kingdom#Validation的确认，以下是我的Python正则表达式版本，可以正确地解析和验证英国邮政编码:

UK_POSTCODE_REGEX = r ' (? P < postcode_area > [a - z] {1,2}) (? P <区> (?:[0 - 9]{1,2})| (?:[0 - 9][a - z])) (? P <部门> [0 - 9])(? P <邮编> [a - z]{2})”

这个正则表达式很简单，并且有捕获组。它不包括所有合法的英国邮政编码的验证，而只考虑字母与数字的位置。

下面是我在代码中如何使用它:

@dataclass
class UKPostcode:
    postcode_area: str
    district: str
    sector: int
    postcode: str

    # https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postcodes_in_the_United_Kingdom#Validation
    # Original author of this regex: @jontsai
    # NOTE TO FUTURE DEVELOPER:
    # Verified through empirical testing and observation, as well as confirming with the Wiki article
    # If this regex fails to capture all valid UK postcodes, then I apologize, for I am only human.
    UK_POSTCODE_REGEX = r'(?P<postcode_area>[A-Z]{1,2})(?P<district>(?:[0-9]{1,2})|(?:[0-9][A-Z]))(?P<sector>[0-9])(?P<postcode>[A-Z]{2})'

    @classmethod
    def from_postcode(cls, postcode):
        """Parses a string into a UKPostcode

        Returns a UKPostcode or None
        """
        m = re.match(cls.UK_POSTCODE_REGEX, postcode.replace(' ', ''))

        if m:
            uk_postcode = UKPostcode(
                postcode_area=m.group('postcode_area'),
                district=m.group('district'),
                sector=m.group('sector'),
                postcode=m.group('postcode')
            )
        else:
            uk_postcode = None

        return uk_postcode


def parse_uk_postcode(postcode):
    """Wrapper for UKPostcode.from_postcode
    """
    uk_postcode = UKPostcode.from_postcode(postcode)
    return uk_postcode

下面是单元测试:

    'postcode, expected', [
        # https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postcodes_in_the_United_Kingdom#Validation
        (

    ]
)
def test_parse_uk_postcode(postcode, expected):
    uk_postcode = parse_uk_postcode(postcode)

我有英国邮政编码验证的正则表达式。

这是适用于所有类型的邮政编码，无论是内部或外部

^((([A-PR-UWYZ][0-9])|([A-PR-UWYZ][0-9][0-9])|([A-PR-UWYZ][A-HK-Y][0-9])|([A-PR-UWYZ][A-HK-Y][0-9][0-9])|([A-PR-UWYZ][0-9][A-HJKSTUW])|([A-PR-UWYZ][A-HK-Y][0-9][ABEHMNPRVWXY]))) || ^((GIR)[ ]?(0AA))$|^(([A-PR-UWYZ][0-9])[ ]?([0-9][ABD-HJLNPQ-UW-Z]{0,2}))$|^(([A-PR-UWYZ][0-9][0-9])[ ]?([0-9][ABD-HJLNPQ-UW-Z]{0,2}))$|^(([A-PR-UWYZ][A-HK-Y0-9][0-9])[ ]?([0-9][ABD-HJLNPQ-UW-Z]{0,2}))$|^(([A-PR-UWYZ][A-HK-Y0-9][0-9][0-9])[ ]?([0-9][ABD-HJLNPQ-UW-Z]{0,2}))$|^(([A-PR-UWYZ][0-9][A-HJKS-UW0-9])[ ]?([0-9][ABD-HJLNPQ-UW-Z]{0,2}))$|^(([A-PR-UWYZ][A-HK-Y0-9][0-9][ABEHMNPRVWXY0-9])[ ]?([0-9][ABD-HJLNPQ-UW-Z]{0,2}))$

这适用于所有类型的格式。

例子:

Ab10 -------------------->仅为外部邮政编码 A1 1 aa ------------------> (内部和外部)邮政编码的组合 WC2A --------------------> 外

我使用下面的正则表达式，我已经测试了所有有效的英国邮政编码。它基于推荐的规则，但尽可能地精简，并且没有使用任何特殊语言特定的正则表达式规则。

([A-PR-UWYZ]([A-HK-Y][0-9]([0-9]|[ABEHMNPRV-Y])?|[0-9]([0-9]|[A-HJKPSTUW])?) ?[0-9][ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2})

它假定邮政编码已转换为大写，并且没有前导字符或尾随字符，但在出码和入码之间接受可选空格。

特殊的“GIR0 0AA”邮政编码被排除在外，并且不会生效，因为它不在官方邮局的邮政编码列表中，据我所知，它不会被用作注册地址。如果需要，作为特殊情况添加它应该是微不足道的。

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。
