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*$)

这是谷歌在i18napis.appspot.com域名上的正则表达式:

GIR[ ]?0AA|((AB|AL|B|BA|BB|BD|BH|BL|BN|BR|BS|BT|BX|CA|CB|CF|CH|CM|CO|CR|CT|CV|CW|DA|DD|DE|DG|DH|DL|DN|DT|DY|E|EC|EH|EN|EX|FK|FY|G|GL|GY|GU|HA|HD|HG|HP|HR|HS|HU|HX|IG|IM|IP|IV|JE|KA|KT|KW|KY|L|LA|LD|LE|LL|LN|LS|LU|M|ME|MK|ML|N|NE|NG|NN|NP|NR|NW|OL|OX|PA|PE|PH|PL|PO|PR|RG|RH|RM|S|SA|SE|SG|SK|SL|SM|SN|SO|SP|SR|SS|ST|SW|SY|TA|TD|TF|TN|TQ|TR|TS|TW|UB|W|WA|WC|WD|WF|WN|WR|WS|WV|YO|ZE)(\d[\dA-Z]?[ ]?\d[ABD-HJLN-UW-Z]{2}))|BFPO[ ]?\d{1,4}

根据皇家邮政的程序员指南，检查邮政编码是否为有效格式:

          |----------------------------outward code------------------------------| |------inward code-----|
#special↓       α1        α2    AAN  AANA      AANN      AN    ANN    ANA (α3)        N         AA
^(GIR 0AA|[A-PR-UWYZ]([A-HK-Y]([0-9][A-Z]?|[1-9][0-9])|[1-9]([0-9]|[A-HJKPSTUW])?) [0-9][ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2})$

uk上的所有邮编都匹配，除了那些不再使用的邮编。

增加一个?空格后，使用不区分大小写的匹配来回答这个问题:

'se50eg'.match(/^(GIR 0AA|[A-PR-UWYZ]([A-HK-Y]([0-9][A-Z]?|[1-9][0-9])|[1-9]([0-9]|[A-HJKPSTUW])?) ?[0-9][ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2})$/ig);
Array [ "se50eg" ]

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

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。

不存在能够验证邮政编码的综合英国邮政编码正则表达式。您可以使用正则表达式检查邮政编码的格式是否正确;并不是真的存在。

邮政编码非常复杂，而且不断变化。例如，对于每个邮政编码区域，出码W1没有，也可能永远没有1到99之间的每个数字。

你不能指望当前的东西永远都是真的。举个例子，1990年，邮局认为阿伯丁有点拥挤了。他们在AB1-5的末尾加了一个0，使它成为AB10-50，然后在这些之间创建了一些邮政编码。

每当建立一条新街道时，就会创建一个新的邮政编码。这是获得建筑许可的过程的一部分;地方当局有义务与邮局保持更新(并不是说他们都这样做)。

此外，正如许多其他用户指出的那样，还有一些特殊的邮政编码，如Girobank, GIR 0AA，以及给圣诞老人的信件，SAN TA1 -你可能不想在那里张贴任何东西，但似乎没有任何其他答案。

然后，还有BFPO的邮政编码，现在正在改为更标准的格式。两种格式都是有效的。最后，还有海外领土来源维基百科。

接下来，你必须考虑到英国将其邮政编码系统“输出”到世界上许多地方。任何验证“英国”邮政编码的程序也将验证许多其他国家的邮政编码。

如果您想验证英国邮政编码，最安全的方法是使用当前邮政编码的查找。有很多选择:

Ordnance Survey releases Code-Point Open under an open data licence. It'll be very slightly behind the times but it's free. This will (probably - I can't remember) not include Northern Irish data as the Ordnance Survey has no remit there. Mapping in Northern Ireland is conducted by the Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland and they have their, separate, paid-for, Pointer product. You could use this and append the few that aren't covered fairly easily. Royal Mail releases the Postcode Address File (PAF), this includes BFPO which I'm not sure Code-Point Open does. It's updated regularly but costs money (and they can be downright mean about it sometimes). PAF includes the full address rather than just postcodes and comes with its own Programmers Guide. The Open Data User Group (ODUG) is currently lobbying to have PAF released for free, here's a description of their position. Lastly, there's AddressBase. This is a collaboration between Ordnance Survey, Local Authorities, Royal Mail and a matching company to create a definitive directory of all information about all UK addresses (they've been fairly successful as well). It's paid-for but if you're working with a Local Authority, government department, or government service it's free for them to use. There's a lot more information than just postcodes included.
