The column I would like to slice looks like this:
{'name':['A', 'B', 'C'], 'location':['(x=31.33 y=19.98)', '(x=9.33 y=6.98)', '(x=-12.67 y=-30.02)']}
I would like to pull the x
and y
values into their own columns to look like this:
{'name':['A', 'B', 'C'], 'x':[31.33, 9.33, -12.67], 'y':[19.98,6.98,-30.02]}
I am assuming I need to do some slicing, but am unsure how to go about it. Thanks.
You can use regex for this:
import re
d = {'name':['A', 'B', 'C'], 'location':['(x=31.33 y=19.98)', '(x=9.33 y=6.98)', '(x=-12.67 y=-30.02)']}
x = [re.search(r'x=((?:\-)?\d+(?:\.\d+))', x).group(1) for x in d['location']]
y = [re.search(r'y=((?:\-)?\d+(?:\.\d+))', x).group(1) for x in d['location']]
res = {
'name': d['name'],
'x': list(map(float, x)),
'y': list(map(float, y))
}
print(res)
# {'name': ['A', 'B', 'C'], 'x': [31.33, 9.33, -12.67], 'y': [19.98, 6.98, -30.02]}
In case you are very sure about your data that they always follow this pattern, you can simplify above regex to:
x = [re.search(r'x=(.*) ', x).group(1) for x in d['location']]
y = [re.search(r'y=(.*)\)', x).group(1) for x in d['location']]
Here's a solution:
start = {
'name':['A', 'B', 'C'],
'location':['(x=31.33 y=19.98)',
'(x=9.33 y=6.98)',
'(x=-12.67 y=-30.02)']
}
xList = []
yList = []
for string in start['location']:
splitted = string[1:-1].split(" ")
x = splitted[0].split("=")[1]
y = splitted[1].split("=")[1]
xList.append(x)
yList.append(y)
end = {
'name' : start['name'],
'x' : xList,
'y' : yList
}
print(end)
You can also use regexes to match patterns in strings ( documentation , regex expressions testing website )
EDIT:
Here's a solution with a regex, much more elegant:
import re
start = {
'name':['A', 'B', 'C'],
'location':['(x=31.33 y=19.98)',
'(x=9.33 y=6.98)',
'(x=-12.67 y=-30.02)']
}
end = {
'name' : start['name'],
'x' : [],
'y' : []
}
for string in start['location']:
checkNumber = re.compile("([\d]+[.]*[\d]*)")
numbers = checkNumber.findall(string)
end['x'].append(numbers[0])
end['y'].append(numbers[1])
print(end)
You can test the regex here
You can do this a little more elegantly with the re library (and list comprehensions).
import re
data = {'name':['A', 'B', 'C'], 'location':['(x=31.33 y=19.98)', '(x=9.33 y=6.98)', '(x=-12.67 y=-30.02)']}
data['x'] = [float(re.split("=| |\)", i)[1]) for i in data['location']]
data['y'] = [float(re.split("=| |\)", i)[3]) for i in data['location']]
del(data['location'])
data
>>> {'name': ['A', 'B', 'C'],
'x': [31.33, 9.33, -12.67],
'y': [19.98, 6.98, -30.02]}
You need to parse the string:
import pandas as pd
import re
t = {'name':['A', 'B', 'C'], 'location':['(x=31.33 y=19.98)', '(x=9.33 y=6.98)', '(x=-12.67 y=-30.02)']}
res = pd.DataFrame({'name':t['name'], 'x':[float(re.search("\(x=(.*) y", i).group(1)) for i in t['location']], 'y':[float(re.search("y=(.*)\)", i).group(1)) for i in t['location']]})
The easiest way is to create new columns using `pandas.Series.str.extract()', ie.:
df = pd.DataFrame(["{'name':['A', 'B', 'C'], 'location':['(x=31.33 y=19.98)', '(x=9.33 y=6.98)', '(x=-12.67 y=-30.02)']}"])
df.location.str.extract(r'x=(?P<x>[0-9.-]+) y=(?P<y>[0-9.-]+)', expand=True)
Output:
x y
0 31.33 19.98
1 9.33 6.98
2 -12.67 -30.02
And if you need to save the new columns in the existing dataframe you can use pd.concat()
, ie.:
df = pd.concat([df, df.location.str.extract(r'x=(?P<x>[0-9.-]+) y=(?P<y>[0-9.-]+)', expand=True)], axis=1)
