Try to do this > list <- seq(1,5,1) > list<-list[-3] > list [1] 1 2 4 5 list[-x] will remove the xth value in your list. Also you can do something like > list[-c(1:4)] [1] 5 To remove values at indexes 1-4 > list[-c(1,4)] [1] 2 3 5 To remove values at indexes 1 and 4 -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/how-to-eliminate-an-element-of-a-list-tp2323329p2324691.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

Hello André, > I want to eliminate an element of a list: > > list <- seq(1,5,1) That's not a list, it's a vector > s <- sample(list,1) > > lets say s=3 > Now I want to remove 3 from the list: list2 = {1,2,4,5} If all values are unique as in your example, this will work x <- 1:5 s <- sample(x, 1) x <- x[ x != s ] The last step could also be... x <- x[ -match(s, x) ] # note minus sign Lots of other was to do it too. Note, I'm assuming you won't always have values equal to the element indices.

[R] how to eliminate an element of a list
Hi, I want to eliminate an element of a list: list <- seq(1,5,1) s <- sample(list,1) lets say s=3 Now I want to remove 3 from the list: list2 = {1,2,4,5} Can someone give me a tip?
