pyarrow.compute.binary_slice#

pyarrow.compute.binary_slice(strings,/,start,stop=None,step=1,*,options=None,memory_pool=None)#

Slice binary string.

For each binary string instrings, emit the substring defined by(start,stop,step) as given bySliceOptions wherestart isinclusive andstop is exclusive. All three values are measured inbytes.Ifstep is negative, the string will be advanced in reversed order.An error is raised ifstep is zero.Null inputs emit null.

Parameters:
stringsArray-like or scalar-like

Argument to compute function.

startint

Index to start slicing at (inclusive).

stopint orNone, defaultNone

If given, index to stop slicing at (exclusive).If not given, slicing will stop at the end.

stepint, default 1

Slice step.

optionspyarrow.compute.SliceOptions, optional

Alternative way of passing options.

memory_poolpyarrow.MemoryPool, optional

If not passed, will allocate memory from the default memory pool.
