I want to replace substring icashier.alipay.com
in column in df
url
icashier.alipay.com/catalog/2758186/detail.aspx
icashier.alipay.com/catalog/2758186/detail.aspx
icashier.alipay.com/catalog/2758186/detail.aspx
vk.com
to aliexpress.com
.
Desire output
aliexpress.com/catalog/2758186/detail.aspx
aliexpress.com/catalog/2758186/detail.aspx
aliexpress.com/catalog/2758186/detail.aspx
vk.com
I try df['url'].replace('icashier.alipay.com', 'aliexpress.com', 'inplace=True')
but it return empty dataframe
.
Use replace
with dict
for replacing and parameters inplace=True
and regex=True
:
df['url'].replace({'icashier.alipay.com': 'aliexpress.com'}, inplace=True, regex=True)
print (df)
url
0 aliexpress.com/catalog/2758186/detail.aspx
1 aliexpress.com/catalog/2758186/detail.aspx
2 aliexpress.com/catalog/2758186/detail.aspx
3 vk.com
use str.replace
to replace a substring, replace
looks for exact matches unless you pass a regex pattern and param regex=True
:
In [25]:
df['url'] = df['url'].str.replace('icashier.alipay.com', 'aliexpress.com')
df['url']
Out[25]:
0 aliexpress.com/catalog/2758186/detail.aspx
1 aliexpress.com/catalog/2758186/detail.aspx
2 aliexpress.com/catalog/2758186/detail.aspx
3 vk.com
