Check if multiple substrings are in pandas dataframe [duplicate]
You can use regex, where '|' is an "or" in regular expressions:
l = ['LIMITED','INC','CORP'] regstr = '|'.join(l)df['NAME'].str.upper().str.contains(regstr)MVCE:
In [1]: import pandas as pdIn [2]: df = pd.DataFrame({'NAME':['Baby CORP.','Baby','Baby INC.','Baby LIMITED ...: ']})In [3]: dfOut[3]: NAME0 Baby CORP.1 Baby2 Baby INC.3 Baby LIMITEDIn [4]: l = ['LIMITED','INC','CORP'] ...: regstr = '|'.join(l) ...: df['NAME'].str.upper().str.contains(regstr) ...: Out[4]: 0 True1 False2 True3 TrueName: NAME, dtype: boolIn [5]: regstrOut[5]: 'LIMITED|INC|CORP'
