I am trying to separate the following list:
[‘\nYear\nMonth\nValue\n’, ‘\n2023\nAugust\n(p) 164.06\n’, ‘\n2023\nJuly\n(sf) (r) 148.02\n’]
such that the values will be reflected as shown in the table below:
| Year | Month | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | August | (p) 164.06 |
| 2023 | July | sf) (r) 148.02 |
The first item of the list is separated into 3 column headers: Year, Month, Value. I used bs4 to scrape a website but the data came in a list formatted in a way which is hard to work with.
Hoping someone would be able to share the code to manipulate the said list in a dataframe version.
Appreciate your help and thanks in advance!
>Solution :
One of possible solution is to use pd.read_csv:
from io import StringIO
lst = [
"\nYear\nMonth\nValue\n",
"\n2023\nAugust\n(p) 164.06\n",
"\n2023\nJuly\n(sf) (r) 148.02\n",
]
df = pd.read_csv(StringIO("\n".join(s.strip().replace("\n", ",") for s in lst)))
print(df)
Prints:
Year Month Value
0 2023 August (p) 164.06
1 2023 July (sf) (r) 148.02
