Python DataFrame按行统计精确单词次数及上下文提取报错问题

Got it, let's figure out what's going wrong here and fix it step by step!

First off, the error you're seeing makes total sense—your original code df["string"].count(df["word"]) is using Pandas' Series.count() method incorrectly:

• Series.count() doesn't count substring occurrences at all—it's designed to return the number of non-missing values in the series, which has nothing to do with string matching.
• You're also passing the entire df["word"] series as an argument, and Pandas can't automatically map each row's string to its corresponding word this way.

We need to process each row individually to handle two requirements: count exact matches of the word and extract 5 characters before and after each match. We'll use regular expressions to ensure exact matching (so apple won't be confused with apples) and Pandas' apply to handle row-by-row logic.

Full Code Example #

import pandas as pd
import re

# Sample data matching your description
data = {
    "word": ["apple"],
    "string": [
        "One apple price is 40",
        "one apple price is 50 and three apples price are 60 but apple..."
    ]
}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)

def process_row(row):
    target_word = row["word"]
    text = row["string"]
    
    # Build regex for exact matching: word boundaries + escape special characters
    # Remove re.IGNORECASE if you need case-sensitive matching
    regex_pattern = re.compile(r"\b" + re.escape(target_word) + r"\b", re.IGNORECASE)
    
    # 1. Count exact matches
    match_count = len(regex_pattern.findall(text))
    
    # 2. Extract 5 chars before/after each match (handle edge cases)
    match_snippets = []
    for match in regex_pattern.finditer(text):
        # Avoid negative indices or out-of-bounds errors
        start_pos = max(0, match.start() - 5)
        end_pos = min(len(text), match.end() + 5)
        snippet = text[start_pos:end_pos]
        match_snippets.append(snippet)
    
    # Combine all snippets into a single summary string
    summary = "; ".join(match_snippets)
    
    return pd.Series([match_count, summary], index=["count", "wordSummary"])

# Apply the function to every row
df[["count", "wordSummary"]] = df.apply(process_row, axis=1)

print(df)

Key Details Explained #

• Exact Matching: The \b in the regex stands for word boundary, which ensures we only match standalone instances of apple (not parts of longer words like apples). re.escape(target_word) handles special characters in the word (like don't or $5) so they don't break the regex.
• Case Sensitivity: If you need to distinguish between Apple and apple, just remove the re.IGNORECASE parameter.
• Edge Case Handling: Using max(0, ...) and min(len(text), ...) prevents errors when the matched word is near the start or end of the string (e.g., no 5 characters available before it).
• Efficiency: Precompiling the regex with re.compile speeds things up if you're working with a large dataset.

Sample Output #

For your example data, the result will look like this:

word                                              string  count                                      wordSummary
