One column in report is titled 'Filename' and there are several possible options 'xxxx.pdf', 'xxxx.Empty'.
How do I get Python to locate only files that are '.Empty' for example?
I've been trying the following code which doesn't produce an error but also brings up no results when it should
df3.loc[df3['Filename'] == '.Empty']
Thanks in advance
Suppose you have a dataframe like this
df = pd.DataFrame([['a.Empty'], ['b.pdf']], columns=['file'])
file
0 a.Empty
1 b.pdf
To get all the files that are Empty use str.contains
df[df['file'].str.contains('.Empty')]
file
0 a.Empty
If you want all files except empty then
df[~df['file'].str.contains('.Empty')]
file
1 b.pdf
