title: Replace multiple substrings in a Pandas series with a value
body: <p>All,</p>
  <p>To replace one string in one particular column I have done this and it worked fine:</p>
  <pre><code>dataUS['sec_type'].str.strip().str.replace(&quot;LOCAL&quot;,&quot;CORP&quot;)
  </code></pre>
  <p>I would like now to replace multiple strings with one string say replace <code>[&quot;LOCAL&quot;, &quot;FOREIGN&quot;, &quot;HELLO&quot;]</code> with <code>&quot;CORP&quot;</code></p>
  <p>How can make it work? the code below didn't work</p>
  <pre><code>dataUS['sec_type'].str.strip().str.replace([&quot;LOCAL&quot;, &quot;FOREIGN&quot;, &quot;HELLO&quot;], &quot;CORP&quot;)
  </code></pre>
