df_output.columns = ['Name', 'date', 'Description']    ###df_output['ID'],df_output['Name_'] = df_output['Name'].str[:1],df_output['Name'].str[1:]    obj = df_output['Name']  obj = obj.str.strip()  obj = obj.str.split(':/s*')  df_output['Name'] = obj.str[-1]  df_output['idx'] = obj.str[0]  df_output = df_output.set_index('idx')
