To select rows that contain specific text, use the contains() method. Let’s say the following is our CSV file path −
C:\\Users\\amit_\\Desktop\\SalesRecords.csv
At first, let us read the CSV file and create Pandas DataFrame −
dataFrame = pd.read_csv("C:\\Users\\amit_\\Desktop\\CarRecords.csv")
Now, let us select rows that contain specific text “BMW” −
dataFrame = dataFrame[dataFrame['Car'].str.contains('BMW')]
Example
Following is the code −
import pandas as pd # reading csv file dataFrame = pd.read_csv("C:\\Users\\amit_\\Desktop\\CarRecords.csv") print("DataFrame...\n",dataFrame) # select rows containing text "BMW" dataFrame = dataFrame[dataFrame['Car'].str.contains('BMW')] print("\nFetching rows with text BMW ...\n",dataFrame)
Output
This will produce the following output −
DataFrame ... Car Place UnitsSold 0 Audi Bangalore 80 1 Porsche Mumbai 110 2 RollsRoyce Pune 100 3 BMW Delhi 95 4 Mercedes Hyderabad 80 5 Lamborghini Chandigarh 80 6 Audi Mumbai 100 7 Mercedes Pune 120 8 Lamborghini Delhi 100 Fetching rows with text BMW ... Car Place UnitsSold 3 BMW Delhi 95
