Showing new lines(n) in PD Dataframe String

Question

I am trying to create a dataframe that has one column that contains a string of texts that has lines. Those lines are separated by lines so that they are easily readable.

string=['''
    hello all:. I request the following from you:


    do the laundry:
    sleep early
    wake up early
    feed the chicken

     ''']


ii=pd.DataFrame(string, columns=['requirement'])
ii

However, when I generate the dataframe, the table shows very messy and all the new lines are separated by (n) in text format.

nhello all:. I request the following from you:nnndo the laundry:nsleep earlynwake up earlynfeed the chickennn

How do I preserve the lines inside of the PD Dataframe so that it is easily readable?

Answer 1

A robust way is to use tabulate:

# pip install tabulate

from tabulate import tabulate

print(tabulate(ii, tablefmt='plain', headers=list(ii)))

Output:

    requirement
 0  hello all:. I request the following from you:


        do the laundry:
        sleep early
        wake up early
        feed the chicken

Other example:

ii = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['123nABCDEnnnF', '12n3'],
                   'B': [1, 2],
                   'C': ['ABC', 'AnBnC']})`

Output:

    A        B  C
 0  123      1  ABC
    ABCDE


    F
 1  12       2  A
    3           B
                C

as HTML

from IPython.display import display, HTML
display(HTML(ii.to_html().replace('\n', '<br>')))

Output:

print(tabulate(ii, tablefmt='plain', headers=list(ii), stralign='left'))

        A    B    C
 0  123      1  ABC
    ABCDE


    F
 1  12       2  A
    3           B
                C


print(tabulate(ii, tablefmt='plain', headers=list(ii), stralign='right'))

        A    B    C
 0    123    1  ABC
    ABCDE


        F
 1     12    2    A
        3         B
                  C

You can use:

import re

string=['''
    hello all:. I request the following from you:


    do the laundry:
    sleep early
    wake up early
    feed the chicken

     ''']
string = [re.sub('(n+)(s+)',' ',s).strip() for s in string]

ii=pd.DataFrame(string, columns=['requirement'])
ii
