df1




 model horsepower
1 I30
2 CR-V
3 BMW 5 [F10] 13



df2




 model horsepower
1 I30 15-17 100
2 CR-V 15- 130
3 BMW 5 [F10] 13-18 200


My goal is to find horsepower from df2 for each car model in df1:



for i,row in df1.iterrows():
var = row['model']
score = df2.loc[df2['model'].str.contains(var)]['horsepower'].item()
df1.at[i,'horsepower'] = score


I have a problem with this car model:




"BMW 5 [F10] 13-18"




Square brackets messes up the data and I get the error:



IndexError: single positional indexer is out-of-bounds


Everything works fine for all other models (tested on more over 100).
only BMW model messes thing up.
How can I solve this?

    Perhaps df1 and df2 do not have the same index and size? You are using the index from df2 to look up in df1.
