Extracting Start and End Indices in Python Lists for DataFrames

When working with DataFrames in Python, particularly with libraries like pandas, it often becomes necessary to extract specific data such as the start and end indices of elements in text fields. This can be especially useful in scenarios involving natural language processing or data parsing. In this guide, we are going to address a common problem: how to find start and end indices in a list for all rows of a DataFrame.

The Problem

Suppose you have a CSV file containing several columns, including unions, subdistrict, and district. After loading the data into a DataFrame, your goal is to create a list that combines certain columns while also capturing the start and end indices for each word in the merged string.

Here's a brief look at the data you might have:

In your original code, you managed to get the output for only one row. Let's explore how to improve your approach to get the desired results for all rows.

The Solution

By utilizing the iterrows() method provided by pandas, we can iterate through each row of the DataFrame more effectively. Below is an improved version of your code that addresses the issue:

Output

Running the above code will yield the following structured output:

Key Points

Pandas iterrows() method: It allows you to loop through each row as a Series, making it easy to access individual column values.

Regular Expressions: By using re.finditer(), you can efficiently locate each word's start and end indices in the combined strings.

List Comprehensions: Employing list comprehensions keeps the code concise and readable.

Conclusion

The ability to extract meaningful data from a DataFrame is a powerful skill in data manipulation. By transforming your approach using iterrows(), you can ensure that your scripts are robust and capable of handling the requirements of more complex datasets. Following these guidelines, you will efficiently produce an array of structured outputs as needed.
