modin.pandas.Series.str.match

Series.str.match(pat, case=True, flags=0, na=_NoDefault.no_default)[source]

Determine if each string starts with a match of a regular expression.

Parameters:

  • pat (str) – Character sequence.

  • case (bool, default True) – If True, case sensitive.

  • flags (int, default 0 (no flags)) – Regex module flags, e.g. re.IGNORECASE.

  • na (scalar, optional) – Fill value for missing values. The default depends on dtype of the array. For object-dtype, numpy.nan is used. For StringDtype, pandas.NA is used.

Return type:

Series/Index/array of boolean values
