Wie erstelle ich einen Pandas-DataFrame aus einer Textdatei mit einem bestimmten Muster?

Alabama[edit]
Auburn (Auburn University)[1]
Florence (University of North Alabama)
Jacksonville (Jacksonville State University)[2]
Livingston (University of West Alabama)[2]
Montevallo (University of Montevallo)[2]
Troy (Troy University)[2]
Tuscaloosa (University of Alabama, Stillman College, Shelton State)[3][4]
Tuskegee (Tuskegee University)[5]
...

<State>[edit]
<Region Name 1>
<Region Name 2>
...

<code class="python">import pandas as pd

# Read the text file into a DataFrame with the column name 'Region Name'
df = pd.read_csv('filename.txt', sep=";", names=['Region Name'])

# Extract the state names from the rows containing '[edit]'
state_names = df[df['Region Name'].str.contains('\[edit\]')]['Region Name']

# Replace the region names with state names in the rows where the region name contains '[edit]'
df['Region Name'] = df['Region Name'].str.replace('\[edit\]', state_names)

# Replace the region names with state names in the rows where the region name contains '[number]' or '[characters]'
df['Region Name'] = df['Region Name'].str.replace(' \(.+$', '')

# Insert a new column 'State' with the state name for each region name
df.insert(0, 'State', df['Region Name'].ffill())

# Drop the rows where the region name contains '[edit]' leaving the columns State and Region Name
df = df[~df['Region Name'].str.contains('\[edit\]')].reset_index(drop=True)

print(df)</code>
