Cleaning strings with pandas

“

- When you think about data, what do you imagine? Do you think of tables? Maybe you even think about columns of numbers. When I think about data, I think about text and text is always going to require some special care to get it ready for analysis. I'm Seth Berry, professor and stargazer. In this course, I'm going to show you how to use text columns to extract meaning and create new variables using Pandas functions and regular expressions. You'll learn how to turn text columns into usable data, how to find patterns in text to make it easier to clean, and naturally you need to have a reason to clean text. So I'd like to introduce you to some of our friends causing data problems. Welcome to string cleaning with Pandas.
