我今天做了英国邮政编码验证的正则表达式，据我所知，它适用于所有的英国邮政编码，如果你放一个空格或如果你不放。

^((([a-zA-Z][0-9])|([a-zA-Z][0-9]{2})|([a-zA-Z]{2}[0-9])|([a-zA-Z]{2}[0-9]{2})|([A-Za-z][0-9][a-zA-Z])|([a-zA-Z]{2}[0-9][a-zA-Z]))(\s*[0-9][a-zA-Z]{2})$)

如果有什么格式没有涵盖，请告诉我

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

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。

上面的一些正则表达式有点限制性。请注意真正的邮政编码:“W1K 7AA”将失败，因为上面的“位置3 - AEHMNPRTVXY仅使用”规则将不允许“K”。

正则表达式:

^(GIR 0AA|[A-PR-UWYZ]([0-9]{1,2}|([A-HK-Y][0-9]|[A-HK-Y][0-9]([0-9]|[ABEHMNPRV-Y]))|[0-9][A-HJKPS-UW])[0-9][ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2})$

似乎更准确一点，请参阅维基百科上题为“英国的邮政编码”的文章。

注意，这个正则表达式只要求大写字符。

更大的问题是，您是限制用户输入，只允许实际存在的邮政编码，还是只是试图阻止用户在表单字段中输入完全的垃圾。正确匹配每一个可能的邮政编码，并在未来校对，是一个更难的难题，除非你是HMRC，否则可能不值得这么做。

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
