Pandas Replace NaN with blank/empty string

Question

I have a Pandas Dataframe as shown below:

    1    2       3
 0  a  NaN    read
 1  b    l  unread
 2  c  NaN    read

I want to remove the

Answer 1

I tried with one column of string values with nan.

To remove the nan and fill the empty string:

df.columnname.replace(np.nan,'',regex = True)

To remove the nan and fill some values:

df.columnname.replace(np.nan,'value',regex = True)

I tried df.iloc also. but it needs the index of the column. so you need to look into the table again. simply the above method reduced one step.
