But that is a good reason to always use parentheses: x[ !(x %in% c(0,255))] since some of the 'precendences' vary between languages.

Re: [R] Asking Favor For Remove element with Particular Value In Vector
Be careful about negating the 'which' in case there are no matches: x - 1:10 x[-which(x == 11)] integer(0) Notice it deletes the whole vector. Safer to use logical vectors: x[!(x==3 | x == 7)] [1] 1 2 4 5 6 8 9 10 x[!(x == 11)] # notice this works [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 On Sun, Aug 28, 2011 at 7:20 AM, eyildiz engin.yildizt...@gmail.com wrote: You can use 'which' and negative subscripts to remove elements from a vector. y-x[-(which(x==0|x==255))] chuan_zl wrote: Dear All.

Re: [R] Asking Favor For Remove element with Particular Value In Vector
Not sure whether I understand your question right but here is what I would do: # Sample data x - seq( 1, 100, by=6) x [1] 1 7 13 19 25 31 37 43 49 55 61 67 73 79 85 91 97 # remove element with value 19 x - x[ x != 19 ] x [1] 1 7 13 25 31 37 43 49 55 61 67 73 79 85 91 97 If you want to remove values smaller / larger than a certain threshold, your way should work well: # Sample data x - seq( 1, 100, by=6) x[9] - 155 x [1] 1 7 13 19 25 31 37 43 155 55 61 67 73 79 85 91 97 # Remove elements smaller than 20 or larger than 80: x - x[ x 20 x 80 ] x [1] 25 31 37 43 55 61 67 73 79 So there is probably an issue with your data vector - why don't you dput() it?
