count(self, pat, flags=0)

This function is used to count the number of times a particular regex pattern is repeated in each of the string elements of the ~pandas.Series .

Notes

Some characters need to be escaped when passing in :None:None:`pat`. eg. '$' has a special meaning in regex and must be escaped when finding this literal character.

Parameters

pat : str

Valid regular expression.

flags : int, default 0, meaning no flags

Flags for the re module. For a complete list, :None:None:`see here <https://docs.python.org/3/howto/regex.html#compilation-flags>`.

**kwargs :

For compatibility with other string methods. Not used.

Returns

Series or Index

Same type as the calling object containing the integer counts.

Count occurrences of pattern in each string of the Series/Index.

See Also

re

Standard library module for regular expressions.

str.count

Standard library version, without regular expression support.

Examples

This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> s = pd.Series(['A', 'B', 'Aaba', 'Baca', np.nan, 'CABA', 'cat'])
... s.str.count('a') 0 0.0 1 0.0 2 2.0 3 2.0 4 NaN 5 0.0 6 1.0 dtype: float64

Escape '$' to find the literal dollar sign.

This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> s = pd.Series(['$', 'B', 'Aab$', '$$ca', 'C$B$', 'cat'])
... s.str.count('\\$') 0 1 1 0 2 1 3 2 4 2 5 0 dtype: int64

This is also available on Index

This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> pd.Index(['A', 'A', 'Aaba', 'cat']).str.count('a')
Int64Index([0, 0, 2, 1], dtype='int64')

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
