Objective: I have a list of 200 elements(urls) and I would like to check if each one is in a specific column of the Dataframe. If it is, I would like to remove the element from the list.
Problem: I am trying a similar solution by adding to a new list the ones that are not there but it adds all of them.
pruned = []
for element in list1:
if element not in transfer_history['Link']:
pruned.append(element)
I have also tried the solution I asked for without success. I think it’s a simple thing but I can’t find the key.
for element in list1:
if element in transfer_history['Link']:
list1.remove(element)
>Solution :
Remember, your syntax for transfer_history['Link'] is the entire column itself. You need to call each item in the column using another array transfer_history['Link'][x]. Use a for loop to iterate through each item in the column.
Or a much easier way is to just check if the item is in a list made of the entire column with a one liner:
pruned = []
for element in list1:
if element not in [link for link in transfer_history['Link']]:
pruned.append(element)
