I am reading cells in a table. Some cells have a specific string and some don't. How to separate cells with str from those w/o

Question

I want to do this with python

Answer 1

you may be able to do it using the 'in' keyword. assume you are using a loop to iterate through your table:
yourstring = 'hello'
for row in table:
for i in row:
if yourstring in row[i]:
print('it contains my string)

you will have to be careful if not all data is of a string type. you can either check the type first or catch it in an try statement.
isinstance(row [I], str):
if yourstring in row[i]:

or
try:
if yourstring in row[i]:
print('it contains my string)
except Exception:
print('not a string)

can't remember the actual exception it will throw
