c("a","b")[[c(TRUE,FALSE)]]
Error in `[[.default`(factor(c("a", "b")), c(TRUE, FALSE)) :
recursive indexing failed at level 1
I find this error message confusing, though after reading the HELP carefully I
think I know what is going on. Would not something like "[[ does not work with
logical index vectors" be more appropriate?
It didn't take particularly careful reading to find this:
"The most important distinction between [, [[ and $ is that
the [ can select more than one element whereas the other two
select a single element."
Try this:
c("a","b")[[c(1,2)]]
c("a","b")[[TRUE]]
