split & concat string from dataframe












0















From dataframe,
I want to split from (col1) the number before first symbol | into a list, the second number after that into b list and string from(col1), (text1), (text2), (text3) into text list



col1       | text1     | text2           | text3
1|6|Show | us the | straight way | null
109|2|I | worship | not that | which ye worship


the output that I expected



a = [1, 109]
b = [6, 2]
text = [‘Show us the straight way’, ‘I worship not that which ye worship’]



what is the best way to do this?

          This is straightforward assuming col1 has 3 pipe-separated elements throughout.



          a,b,C = zip(*df.col1.str.split('|'))
          D = df.drop('col1', 1).agg(lambda x: ' '.join(x.dropna()), axis=1)

          c = [c + ' ' + d for c,d in zip(c,D)]




          print(a)
          ('1', '109')

          print(b)
          ('6', '2')

          print(c)
          ['Show us the straight way', 'I worship not that which ye worship']


          Note that a and b is a collection of strings, you can map them to numeric with



          a, b = map(pd.to_numeric, (a,b))


          ...to get arrays of integers.





          To handle the generic case of col1 having any number of values, you will need to



          v = df.col1.str.split('|', expand=True)
          m = v.applymap(str.isdigit)
          a,b,*_ = v[m].T.agg(lambda x: x.dropna().tolist(), axis=1)

          print(a)
          ['1', '109']

          print(b)
          ['6', '2']


          C can be computed similarly:



          C = v[~m].agg(lambda x: x.dropna().str.cat(sep=' '), axis=1).tolist()


          and then small c can be computed as before.
