Series.str.startswith<\/strong> doesn’t accept regex because it is intended to behave similarly to str.startswith in vanilla Python, which does not accept regex. The alternative is to use a regex match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 re.match(pattern, string)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Use Series.str.match instead Python string starts with regex<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Simple python example code using the re.match(pattern, string) function from the re module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
import re\r\n\r\nsome_str = \"Hello world\"\r\n\r\nif re.match(r'^Hello', some_str):\r\n    print(\"Given String start with 'Hello'\")\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Output<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Python<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Obviously, in this case, somestring.startswith('hello')<\/code> is better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
See which of these methods<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
These are most efficient to return whether a certain string begins with another string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
