Match Valid UK Postal District in a partial or whole Postcode
|
| Expression |
^(GIR|[A-Z]\d[A-Z\d]?|[A-Z]{2}\d[A-Z\d]?)[ ]??(\d[A-Z]{0,2})??$ |
| Description |
This will validate a partial postcode beginning with the postal district on up to the whole postcode, returning the two halves in sub-expressions. The main purpose is to return a valid postal district from a partial or whole postcode. The real value in this regex lies in the fact that it will process the postcode correctly regardless of whether or not the space in present after the district. So the accepted formats are A1 1AA, A11 1AA, A1A 1AA, AA1 1AA, AA11 1AA, AA1A 1AA GIR 0AA (and the same 6 formats without the space are also accepted). Requires postcodes to be upper-case. |
