One of the commonly used methods for filtering textual data is looking for a substring. In this how-to article, we will learn how to filter string columns in Pandas and PySpark by using a substring.
We can use the contains method, which is available through the str accessor.
df = df[df["Fruit"].str.contains("Apple")]
Letter cases are important because “Apple” and “apple” are not the same strings. If we are not sure of the letter cases, the safe approach is to convert all the letters to uppercase or lowercase before filtering.
df = df[df["Fruit"].str.lower().str.contains("apple")]
PySpark also has a contains method that can be used as follows:
from pyspark.sql import functions as F df = df.filter(F.col("Fruit").contains("Apple"))
Letter cases cause strings to be different in PySpark too. We can use the lower or upper function to standardize letter cases before searching for a substring.
from pyspark.sql import functions as F df = df.filter(F.lower(F.col("Fruit")).contains("apple"))
