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

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)
    assert(uk_postcode == expected)

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})$)

邮政编码可能会发生变化，验证邮政编码的唯一真正方法是拥有完整的邮政编码列表，并查看它是否存在。

但是正则表达式很有用，因为它们:

是否易于使用和实现 是短暂的 都跑得很快 相当容易维护(与完整的邮政编码列表相比) 仍然捕获大多数输入错误

但是正则表达式往往很难维护，特别是对于那些一开始就没有想到它的人来说。所以它一定是:

尽量简单易懂 相对未来的证明

这意味着这个答案中的大多数正则表达式都不够好。例如，我可以看到[a - pr - uwyz][a - hk - y][0-9][ABEHMNPRV-Y]将匹配形式为AA1A的邮政编码区域-但如果添加了新的邮政编码区域，这将是一个令人头疼的问题，因为很难理解它匹配哪些邮政编码区域。

我还想让我的正则表达式匹配邮政编码的前半部分和后半部分。

所以我想到了这个:

(GIR(?=\s*0AA)|(?:[BEGLMNSW]|[A-Z]{2})[0-9](?:[0-9]|(?<=N1|E1|SE1|SW1|W1|NW1|EC[0-9]|WC[0-9])[A-HJ-NP-Z])?)\s*([0-9][ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2})

在PCRE格式中，可以这样写:

/^
  ( GIR(?=\s*0AA) # Match the special postcode "GIR 0AA"
    |
    (?:
      [BEGLMNSW] | # There are 8 single-letter postcode areas
      [A-Z]{2}     # All other postcode areas have two letters
      )
    [0-9] # There is always at least one number after the postcode area
    (?:
      [0-9] # And an optional extra number
      |
      # Only certain postcode areas can have an extra letter after the number
      (?<=N1|E1|SE1|SW1|W1|NW1|EC[0-9]|WC[0-9])
      [A-HJ-NP-Z] # Possible letters here may change, but [IO] will never be used
      )?
    )
  \s*
  ([0-9][ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2}) # The last two letters cannot be [CIKMOV]
$/x

对我来说，这是尽可能多地验证之间的正确平衡，与此同时，未来的验证和易于维护。

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。

基本规则:

^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9R][0-9A-Z]? [0-9][ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2}$

英国的邮政编码(或称为邮政编码)由5到7个字母数字字符组成，中间用空格隔开。规定哪些角色可以出现在特定位置的规则相当复杂，而且充满了例外。因此，刚才显示的正则表达式遵循基本规则。

完整的规则:

如果你需要一个以牺牲可读性为代价的正则表达式来满足所有的邮政编码规则，这里你可以:

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

在我们的客户数据库中进行了测试，似乎非常准确。
