python pandas renaming column name startswith

Question

i have multiple excel files with uniform column names, except for one. One file calls it EndOfMarchStatus, another file calls it EndofAprilStatus, and so on. i need to change the column name to just say EndofMonthStatus. there really is no answer i could find that matches this question. some form of rename command with wildcards or startswith will probably work. things i've tried but did not work are: sheet1df.columns.str.replace('Endof.*', 'EndOfMonthStatus') sheet1df.rename(columns={sheet1df.filter(regex='*.Status').columns[0]: 'EndOfMonthStatus'}, inplace=True) sheet1df.rename(columns={'^Status':'EndOfMonthStatus'}, inplace=True) sheet1df.rename(columns=lambda x: x.replace('Endof%', 'EndOfMonthStatus'), inplace=True) JavaScript questions and answers, JavaScript questions pdf, JavaScript question bank, JavaScript questions and answers pdf, mcq on JavaScript pdf, JavaScript questions and solutions, JavaScript mcq Test , Interview JavaScript questions, JavaScript Questions for Interview, JavaScript MCQ (Multiple Choice Questions)

Answer 1

You can use str.replace: df.columns = df.columns.str.replace('(?<=EndOf)(\w+)(?=Status)', 'Month')
