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*$)

我建议你看看英国政府的邮政编码数据标准[链接现在死了;XML的存档，参见维基百科的讨论]。这里有关于数据的简要描述，附带的xml模式提供了一个正则表达式。这可能不是你想要的，但会是一个很好的起点。RegEx与XML略有不同，因为给定的定义允许在格式A9A 9AA中第三个位置的P字符。

英国政府提供的正则表达式为:

([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]?))))\s?[0-9][A-Za-z]{2})

正如维基百科讨论中指出的那样，这将允许一些非真实的邮政编码(例如以AA, ZY开头的邮政编码)，并且它们确实提供了一个更严格的测试，您可以尝试一下。

我需要一个可以在SAS中使用PRXMATCH和相关函数的版本，所以我想到了这个:

^[A-PR-UWYZ](([A-HK-Y]?\d\d?)|(\d[A-HJKPSTUW])|([A-HK-Y]\d[ABEHMNPRV-Y]))\s?\d[ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2}$

测试用例和注意事项:

/* 
Notes
The letters QVX are not used in the 1st position.
The letters IJZ are not used in the second position.
The only letters to appear in the third position are ABCDEFGHJKPSTUW when the structure starts with A9A.
The only letters to appear in the fourth position are ABEHMNPRVWXY when the structure starts with AA9A.
The final two letters do not use the letters CIKMOV, so as not to resemble digits or each other when hand-written.
*/

/*
    Bits and pieces
    1st position (any):         [A-PR-UWYZ]         
    2nd position (if letter):   [A-HK-Y]
    3rd position (A1A format):  [A-HJKPSTUW]
    4th position (AA1A format): [ABEHMNPRV-Y]
    Last 2 positions:           [ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]

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

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

我从一个XML文档中窃取了这个，它似乎涵盖了没有硬编码的GIRO的所有情况:

%r{[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9R][0-9A-Z]? [0-9][A-Z]{2}}i

(Ruby语法忽略大小写)
