I try to remove all object less one, this object is called index. I have
many object with different names and pattern option in ls function may not

   Hi Fernando,
   Using "grep" is most likely the way to go, but without at least a
sample of
   the names of the objects in your workspace, I'm afraid I can't really
help
   you more.
   Cheers,

Is this what you are looking for:

rm( list = setdiff( ls( ), "index") ) )
