Get repeated capture groups, search without having to fear Exceptions in any df/Series, convert results to appropriate dtypes, use fast Trie regex

Project description

Regex enhancements for Pandas DataFrame / Series

###Installation

pip install a-pandas-ex-regex-enhancements

###Usage

from a_pandas_ex_regex_enhancements import pd_add_regex_enhancements

pd_add_regex_enhancements()

import pandas as pd
The code above will add some methods to! You can use pandas like you did before, but you will have a couple of methods more:
  • pandas.DataFrame.ds_trie_regex_search / pandas.Series.ds_trie_regex_search

  • pandas.DataFrame.ds_trie_regex_sub / pandas.Series.ds_trie_regex_sub

  • pandas.DataFrame.ds_trie_regex_find_all / pandas.Series.ds_trie_regex_find_all

  • pandas.DataFrame.ds_regex_find_all / pandas.Series.ds_regex_find_all

  • pandas.DataFrame.ds_regex_find_all_special / pandas.Series.ds_regex_find_all_special

  • pandas.DataFrame.ds_regex_search / pandas.Series.ds_regex_search

  • pandas.DataFrame.ds_regex_sub / pandas.Series.ds_regex_sub

###How to use the new methods

pandas.DataFrame.ds_regex_find_all_special / pandas.Series.ds_regex_find_all_special*
    #Using this method, you can get each match from REPEATED CAPTURE GROUPS! (A very rare feature in regex engines)

    #Besides that, you will see the exact position of each group/match.



    df=pd.read_csv( "https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/raw/main/doc/data/titanic.csv")



    special=df.ds_regex_find_all_special(r'\b(Ma(\w)+)(\w+)\b', dtype_string=False)

            regular_expression: str

               Syntax from https://pypi.org/project/regex/

            flags:int

                You can use any flag that is available here: https://pypi.org/project/regex/

               (default  =regex.UNICODE)

            dtype_string:bool

                If True, it returns all results as a string

               (default  =True)

            line_by_line:bool

                If you want to split the line before searching. Useful, if you want to use ^....$ more than once.

               (default  =False)

        Returns:

            Union[pd.Series, pd.DataFrame]
pandas.DataFrame.ds_trie_regex_find_all / pandas.Series.ds_trie_regex_find_all
    #If you have a huge list of words you want to  search/sub/find_all on this list, you can try to use the Trie regex methods to get the job done faster

    #It is worth trying if:

    #1) your DataFrame/Series has a lot of text in each cell

    #2) you want to search for a lot of words in each cell

#

    #The more words you have, and the more text is in each cell, the faster it gets.

    #If you want to know more about, I recommend: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42789508/15096247



    Example:

    allstrings=pd.DataFrame([[df.Name.to_string() *2] *2,[df.Name.to_string() *2] *2]) #lets create a little dataframe with a lot of text in each cell

    hugeregexlist=df.Name.str.extract(r'^\s*(\w+)').drop_duplicates()[0].to_list() #lets get all names (first word) in the titanic DataFrame

    #it should look like that: ['Braund',  'Cumings',  'Heikkinen',  'Futrelle',  'Allen',  'Moran',  'McCarthy',  'Palsson',  'Johnson',  'Nasser' ... ]

    %timeit allstrings.ds_trie_regex_find_all(hugeregexlist,add_left_to_regex=r'\b',add_right_to_regex=r'\b')

    Let's compare with a regular regex search

    %timeit allstrings.ds_regex_find_all(hugeregex)



    945 ms ± 3.14 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)



    #Not bad, right? But it still can a lot better! Try it yourself!



    #Another good thing is that you can search in every cell, no matter what dtype it is.

    #There won't be thrown any exception, because everything is converted to string before performing any action.

    #If you pass "dtype_string=False", each column will be converted to the best available dtype after the actions have been completed

            df: Union[pd.DataFrame, pd.Series]

            wordlist: list[str]

               (default  = "")

            flags:int

                You can use any flag that is available here: https://pypi.org/project/regex/

               (default  =regex.UNICODE)

            dtype_string:bool

                If True, it returns all results as a string

                If False, data types are converted to the best available

               (default  =True)

            line_by_line:bool

                If you want to split the line before searching. Useful, if you want to use ^....$ more than once.

               (default  =False)

        Returns:

            Union[pd.Series, pd.DataFrame]
pandas.DataFrame.ds_regex_sub / pandas.Series.ds_regex_sub
    #Use regex.sub against a DataFrame/Series without having to fear any exception! You can get
