I need to check if my array (a) is of type `string`. That is, I dont know the number of characters beforehand, so I cant do a.dtype == '|S*' (* = (max) number of characters) Looking at my options, I see either a.dtype.kind == 'S' or a.dtype.type == np.string_, might be ok. Are these any of the preffered ways, or is there some other way?
Maybe np.issubdtype(x.dtype, str) Stéfan
