这种模式适用于所有情况

(?:[A-Za-z]\d ?\d[A-Za-z]{2})|(?:[A-Za-z][A-Za-z\d]\d ?\d[A-Za-z]{2})|(?:[A-Za-z]{2}\d{2} ?\d[A-Za-z]{2})|(?:[A-Za-z]\d[A-Za-z] ?\d[A-Za-z]{2})|(?:[A-Za-z]{2}\d[A-Za-z] ?\d[A-Za-z]{2})

当在Android / Java上使用它时，使用\\d

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)

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]

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

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。
