Pandas - remove numbers from start of string in series

Question

I\'ve got a series of addresses and would like a series with just the street name. The only catch is some of the addresses don\'t have a house number, and some do.

Answer 1

You can use str.replace with regex ^\d+\s+ to remove leading digits:

s.str.replace('^\d+\s+', '')
