UK Postcode District (Loose Match)
|
Expression |
[A-Za-z]{1,2}[\d]{1,2}[A-Za-z]{0,1} |
Description |
The postcode district is the first block of a UK postcode. For example with DN55 1PT it would match DN55. Its a loose match as it only ensures that the format is correct, it doesn't validate the letters and numbers. It doesn't let in the non-geographic codes postcodes SAN TA1 and GIR 0AA. It will pull out the first block of any of the matching examples below. Examples of the names of the different parts of a UK postcode can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postcodes_in_the_United_Kingdom#Life-cycle_of_post_codes |
