Question

I need to remove '-' from certain rows: df:

description
- Fallo en el sensor del yaw
- Error enrollamiento máximo
Cannot couple without polo test

Expected output:

description
Fallo en el sensor del yaw

Answer 1

You can use pandas' replace method to replace '-' with an empty string like this-

df["description"].replace({"- ": ""}, inplace = True, regex = True)

Note that you'll have to use '- ' instead of '-' because your data has '-' with trailing whitespace.
