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}$/

这里的大多数答案都不能适用于我数据库中的所有邮政编码。我终于找到了一个验证与所有，使用政府提供的新正则表达式:

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/413338/Bulk_Data_Transfer_-_additional_validation_valid_from_March_2015.pdf

在之前的答案中都没有，所以我把它贴在这里，以防他们把链接拿下来:

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

更新:更新的正则表达式由杰米公牛指出。不确定这是我的错误复制或它是一个错误在政府的正则表达式，链接是现在…

更新:正如ctwheels发现的那样，这个正则表达式与javascript的正则表达式兼容。请参阅他的评论，了解一个适用于pcre (php)风格的评论。

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。

我们得到了一个说明:

UK postcodes must be in one of the following forms (with one exception, see below): 
    § A9 9AA 
    § A99 9AA
    § AA9 9AA
    § AA99 9AA
    § A9A 9AA
    § AA9A 9AA
where A represents an alphabetic character and 9 represents a numeric character.
Additional rules apply to alphabetic characters, as follows:
    § The character in position 1 may not be Q, V or X
    § The character in position 2 may not be I, J or Z
    § The character in position 3 may not be I, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, V, X, Y or Z
    § The character in position 4 may not be C, D, F, G, I, J, K, L, O, Q, S, T, U or Z
    § The characters in the rightmost two positions may not be C, I, K, M, O or V
The one exception that does not follow these general rules is the postcode "GIR 0AA", which is a special valid postcode.

我们想出了这个:

/^([A-PR-UWYZ][A-HK-Y0-9](?:[A-HJKS-UW0-9][ABEHMNPRV-Y0-9]?)?\s*[0-9][ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2}|GIR\s*0AA)$/i

但是注意-这允许组之间有任意数量的空格。

前半段邮政编码有效格式

[a - z] [a - z][0 - 9]的[a -ž] [a - z] [a - z] [0 - 9] [0 - 9] [a - z] [0 - 9] [0 - 9] [a - z] [a - z] [0 - 9] [a - z] [a - z]的[a -ž] [a - z][0 - 9]的[a -ž] [a - z] [0 - 9]

异常 位置1 - QVX未使用 位置2 -除GIR 0AA外，IJZ不使用 位置3 - AEHMNPRTVXY只使用 位置4 - ABEHMNPRVWXY

邮政编码的后半部分

[0 - 9] [a - z]的[a -ž]

异常 位置2+3 - CIKMOV未使用

记住，不是所有可能的代码都被使用了，所以这个列表是有效代码的必要条件，而不是充分条件。只是匹配所有有效代码的列表可能会更容易?

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*$)
