Pandas: Remove whitespaces, left sided whitespaces and right sided whitespaces of the string values of a given pandas series

Pandas: String and Regular Expression Exercise-2 with Solution

Write a Pandas program to remove whitespaces, left sided whitespaces and right sided whitespaces of the string values of a given pandas series.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
color1 = pd.Index([' Green', 'Black ', ' Red ', 'White', ' Pink '])
print("Original series:")
print(color1)
print("\nRemove whitespace")
print(color1.str.strip())
print("\nRemove left sided whitespace")
print(color1.str.lstrip())
print("\nRemove Right sided whitespace")
print(color1.str.rstrip())

Sample Output:

Original series:
Index([' Green', 'Black ', ' Red ', 'White', ' Pink '], dtype='object')

Remove whitespace
Index(['Green', 'Black', 'Red', 'White', 'Pink'], dtype='object')

Remove left sided whitespace
Index(['Green', 'Black ', 'Red ', 'White', 'Pink '], dtype='object')

Remove Right sided whitespace
Index([' Green', 'Black', ' Red', 'White', ' Pink'], dtype='object')

Previous: Write a Pandas program to convert all the string values to upper, lower cases in a given pandas series. Also find the length of the string values.
Next: Write a Pandas program to add leading zeros to the integer column in a pandas series and makes the length of the field to 8 digit.
