正则表达式部分匹配几个不同的组

Question

I need regexp to match string build from several groups (A is any letter, 9 is any digit):

group 1 regex [AZ]{1,2}[0-9]?

A
A9
AA9

group 2 regex [AZ]{1,3}[0-9]?

A
AA
AAA
AAA9

group 3 regex [AZ]{2,3}[0-9]?[AZ]?

AAA
AA9
AA9A

group 4 regex [0-9]{1,2}[AZ]{1,2}[0-9]?

9A
9AA
9A9
99A9

Not each group must be present but there must be all in correct order - I mean (digit is group number):

1
12
123
1234

So if there is present group 3 there must me all preceding groups present also.

As there are four groups (can be more), so alternative like

^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9]{1}|[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9]{1}\s{1}[A-Z]{1}[0-9]?$

is not the best option as it would be complicated and difficult to maintain. Is there any solution with groups or something? The order of groups is important.

Answer 1

This regex will match all the strings you have provided:

^[A-Z]+[0-9]*(\s+[A-Z]+[0-9]*)+$

and unlimited words.

Answer 2

怎么样：

^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9]?(?:\s+[A-Z]{1,3}[0-9]?(?:\s+[A-Z]{2,3}[0-9]?[A-Z]?(?:\s+[0-9]{1,2}[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9]?)?)?)?$
