No, I think that means doing "x[]", and only in replacement: > x=101:105 > attr(x,"foo")="Fnord" > x [1] 101 102 103 104 105 attr(,"foo") [1] "Fnord" > x[] [1] 101 102 103 104 105 attr(,"foo") [1] "Fnord" > x[]=1:5 > x [1] 1 2 3 4 5 attr(,"foo") [1] "Fnord" as you see, I've replaced all the entries but kept the attributes. c(NA,NA,NA) is clearly not empty...
