Apply list of regex pattern on list python












8















I have data frame in which txt column contains a list. I want to clean the txt column using function clean_text().



data = {'value':['abc.txt', 'cda.txt'], 'txt':['[''2019/01/31-11:56:23.288258 1886     7F0ED4CDC704     asfasnfs: remove datepart'']',
'[''2019/02/01-11:56:23.288258 1886 7F0ED4CDC704 asfasnfs: remove datepart'']']}
df = pandas.DataFrame(data=data)

def clean_text(text):
"""
:param text: it is the plain text
:return: cleaned text
"""
patterns = [r"^{53}",
r"[A-Za-z]+[d]+[w]*|[d]+[A-Za-z]+[w]*",
r"[-=/':,?${}[]-_()>.~" ";+]"]

for p in patterns:
text = re.sub(p, '', text)

return text


My Solution:



df['txt'] = df['txt'].apply(lambda x: clean_text(x))


But I am getting below error:
Error



sre_constants.error: nothing to repeat at position 1

^{53} is not a valid regular expression, since the repeater {53} must be preceded by a character or a pattern that can be repeated. If you mean to make it validate a string that is at least 53 characters long you can use the following pattern instead:



^.{53}

The culprit is the first pattern from the list - r"^{53}". It reads: ^ - match the beginning of the string and then {53} repeat the previous character or group 53 times. Wait... but there is no other character than ^ which cannot be repeated! Indeed. Add a char that you want to match 53 repetitions of. Or, escape the sequence {53} if you want to match it verbatim, e.g. using re.escape.
