Polars中使用正则处理字符串分隔与替换的技术问题

基础场景：equip列拆分 #

原始DataFrame #

import polars as pl

pl.Config.set_fmt_str_lengths(100)

df = pl.DataFrame({
    "equip": [
        'AmuletsMedals', 'Guns, CrossbowsOff-Hands', 'Melee WeaponsShieldsOff-Hands',
        'All Armor', 'Chest Armor', 'Shields', 'All WeaponsShieldsOff-Hands'
    ]
})

预期结果 #

expected = pl.DataFrame({
    "equip": [
        "Amulets, Medals", "Guns, Crossbows, Off-Hands", "Melee Weapons, Shields, Off-Hands",
        "All Armor", "Chest Armor", "Shields", "All Weapons, Shields, Off-Hands"
     ]
})

问题分析 #

直接使用str.replace("[a-z][A-Z]", ", ")会截断匹配到的首尾字符，传入表达式的方式也无法生效。

解决方案 #

使用零宽断言匹配小写字母与大写字母之间的位置，插入逗号空格，不会修改原有字符：

result = df.with_columns(
    pl.col("equip").str.replace(r"(?<=[a-z])(?=[A-Z])", ", ")
)

print(result)

输出结果与预期完全一致。

复杂场景：attributes列拆分 #

原始DataFrame #

df2 = pl.DataFrame({"attributes": ["+10% Aether Damage+30 Defensive Ability16% Aether Resistance6% Less Damage from Aetherials6% Less Damage from Aether Corruptions",
     "4-6 Aether Damage+25% Aether Damage10% Physical Damage converted to Aether DamageAether Tendril (Granted by Item)",
     "2-8 Lightning Damage+25% Lightning Damage+25% Electrocute Damage10% Physical Damage converted to Lightning DamageEmpowered Lightning Nova (Granted by Item)",
     "+10 Health Regenerated per Second+24 Armor20% Poison & Acid Resistance",
     "+22 Defensive Ability10% Chance to Avoid Projectiles+18 Armor",
     "+15 Physique+10% Shield Block ChanceShield Slam (Granted by Item)",
     "+10% Chaos Damage+30 Defensive Ability16% Chaos Resistance6% Less Damage from Chthonics"]})

解决方案 #

需要匹配多种拆分位置：小写字母后跟大写字母、字母后跟数字/加号，用零宽断言组合正则模式：

result2 = df2.with_columns(
    pl.col("attributes").str.replace(
        r"(?<=[a-z])(?=[A-Z])|(?<=[a-zA-Z])(?=[+0-9])",
        ", "
    )
)

print(result2)

拆分后每个属性都会被逗号空格分隔，符合需求。
