xarray.DataArray.str.count

xarray.DataArray.str.count#

DataArray.str.count(pat, flags=0, case=None)[source]#

Count occurrences of pattern in each string of the array.

This function is used to count the number of times a particular regex pattern is repeated in each of the string elements of the DataArray.

The pattern pat can either be a single str or re.Pattern or array-like of str or re.Pattern. If array-like, it is broadcast against the array and applied elementwise.

Parameters

  • pat (str or re.Pattern or array-like of str or re.Pattern) – A string containing a regular expression or a compiled regular expression object. If array-like, it is broadcast.

  • flags (int, default: 0) – Flags to pass through to the re module, e.g. re.IGNORECASE. see compilation-flags. 0 means no flags. Flags can be combined with the bitwise or operator |. Cannot be set if pat is a compiled regex.

  • case (bool, default: True) – If True, case sensitive. Cannot be set if pat is a compiled regex. Equivalent to setting the re.IGNORECASE flag.

Returns

counts (array of int)

Examples

>>> da = xr.DataArray(["jjklmn", "opjjqrs", "t-JJ99vwx"], dims="x")
>>> da
<xarray.DataArray (x: 3)> Size: 108B
array(['jjklmn', 'opjjqrs', 't-JJ99vwx'], dtype='<U9')
Dimensions without coordinates: x

Using a string: >>> da.str.count(“jj”) <xarray.DataArray (x: 3)> Size: 24B array([1, 1, 0]) Dimensions without coordinates: x

Enable case-insensitive matching by setting case to false: >>> counts = da.str.count(“jj”, case=False) >>> counts <xarray.DataArray (x: 3)> Size: 24B array([1, 1, 1]) Dimensions without coordinates: x

Using regex: >>> pat = “JJ[0-9]{2}[a-z]{3}” >>> counts = da.str.count(pat) >>> counts <xarray.DataArray (x: 3)> Size: 24B array([0, 0, 1]) Dimensions without coordinates: x

Using an array of strings (the pattern will be broadcast against the array):

>>> pat = xr.DataArray(["jj", "JJ"], dims="y")
>>> counts = da.str.count(pat)
>>> counts
<xarray.DataArray (x: 3, y: 2)> Size: 48B
array([[1, 0],
       [1, 0],
       [0, 1]])
Dimensions without coordinates: x, y
