dask.dataframe.Series.str.extractall
dask.dataframe.Series.str.extractall¶
- dataframe.Series.str.extractall(pat, flags=0)¶
Extract capture groups in the regex pat as columns in DataFrame.
This docstring was copied from pandas.core.strings.accessor.StringMethods.extractall.
Some inconsistencies with the Dask version may exist.
For each subject string in the Series, extract groups from all matches of regular expression pat. When each subject string in the Series has exactly one match, extractall(pat).xs(0, level=’match’) is the same as extract(pat).
- Parameters
- patstr
Regular expression pattern with capturing groups.
- flagsint, default 0 (no flags)
A
re
module flag, for examplere.IGNORECASE
. These allow to modify regular expression matching for things like case, spaces, etc. Multiple flags can be combined with the bitwise OR operator, for examplere.IGNORECASE | re.MULTILINE
.
- Returns
- DataFrame
A
DataFrame
with one row for each match, and one column for each group. Its rows have aMultiIndex
with first levels that come from the subjectSeries
. The last level is named ‘match’ and indexes the matches in each item of theSeries
. Any capture group names in regular expression pat will be used for column names; otherwise capture group numbers will be used.

extract
Returns first match only (not all matches).
Examples
A pattern with one group will return a DataFrame with one column. Indices with no matches will not appear in the result.
>>> s = pd.Series(["a1a2", "b1", "c1"], index=["A", "B", "C"]) >>> s.str.extractall(r"[ab](\d)") 0 match A 0 1 1 2 B 0 1
Capture group names are used for column names of the result.
>>> s.str.extractall(r"[ab](?P<digit>\d)") digit match A 0 1 1 2 B 0 1
A pattern with two groups will return a DataFrame with two columns.
>>> s.str.extractall(r"(?P<letter>[ab])(?P<digit>\d)") letter digit match A 0 a 1 1 a 2 B 0 b 1
Optional groups that do not match are NaN in the result.
>>> s.str.extractall(r"(?P<letter>[ab])?(?P<digit>\d)") letter digit match A 0 a 1 1 a 2 B 0 b 1 C 0 NaN 1
