Keep column when column name ends with a string pandas python

In This Section we will be focusing on how to keep or select the column based on the column name whether the column name ends with specific string in pandas python i.e. selecting the column when the column name ends with a string, There are multiple ways to do it, we have also handled the case sensitiveness, we have used functions like endswith() , along with select() to achieve the same. let’s look at each of these cases in pandas with an example for each.

• Keep or select the column when the column name ends with a name or string in pandas – Case Sensitive
• Keep or select the column when the column name ends with a name or string in pandas – Case In Sensitive: All Case

 

Create Dataframe:

 

## create dataframe 

import pandas as pd 

data = {'product_Name': ['laptop', 'printer', 'tablet', 'desk', 'chair'],
        'price': [1200, 150, 300, 450, 200],
        'location_name':['Mumbai','Delhi','California','Newyork','London'],
        'offer_percentage':[3,4,8,1,3],
        'Name_of_customer':['Krishna','Ram','Johnathan','Joel','Christy'],
        'name_of_country':['India','India','US','US','UK'],
        'nick_name_of_customer':['Krish','Ram','John','Joe','Chris']
        }

df = pd.DataFrame(data)

df

The Resultant dataframe is

 

 

 

Keep or Select the column when the column name ends with a name or string in pandas – Case Sensitive

To select the column when the column name ends with a specific string or character, we have used the endswith() function in pandas python which will take the string or character as the input and we have selected the column that ends with the string or character, in the below example we have selected the column with the column name ending with “name”

 

# Select the column that Ends with a name or string : Case Sensitive
df1 = df.loc[:,df.columns.str.endswith('name')]
df1

column name which ends with only small case “name” is selected .i.e the “location_name” column is selected , so the resultant dataframe will be.

 

 

 

Keep or Select the column when the column name ends with a name or string in pandas – Case In Sensitive: All Case

We will be selecting the column when the column name ends with a specific string or character, using lower() function in pandas python which will filter based on the column name and have selected the column that starts with the string or character, in the below example we have selected the column with the column name ending with “name” or “Name” or “NAME”

 
# Select the column that Ends with a name or string : Case In Sensitive: All Case

cols = [d for d in df.columns if d.lower()[-4:] == 'name']
df1=df[cols]
df1

column name which ends with all the case “name”, “Name” or “NAME” is  selected .i.e the “product_Name” and “location_name” column is selected , so the resultant dataframe will be.
