Removing Sections of a String Based on Fluid Start/End Point in Python Introduction In this blog post, we will explore how to remove sections of a string in Python based on fluid start and end points. We’ll use the pandas library to manipulate strings in a data frame. Understanding the Problem The problem involves removing certain sections from a string ‘A’ that match the pattern defined by another string ‘B’. The catch is that these matching patterns can appear anywhere within the original string, not just at fixed start and end points.
