Hello all,
I am trying to automate a list to be filled in a FOR LOOP.
Basically I need to load info from a third source and store it into a list.
This list goes to object "A"; The next list brought in by the LOOP goe
to
object "B".. os on ans so forth.
When the iteration on the LOOP goes well (which means it isn't empty) I get
something like this:
A
[[1]]
[,1]
[1,] "1130"
[2,] "1132"
[3,] "1134"
[4,] "1136"
[5,] "1138"
[6,] "1140"
[7,] "1142"
[[2]]
[,1]
[1,] "7.54"
[2,] "6.55"
[3,] "4.20"
[4,] "3.50"
[5,] "2.92"
[6,] "2.42"
[7,] "1.99"
However when the source is empty I get the following:
A
[[1]]
[,1]
[[2]]
[,1]
I need to store NA in the latter one. I have tried A[is.na(A)] but I get an
error message.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

Basically I need to read the data from an external source using many R commands. The problem is that sometimes the source is empty, and I get a list with empty values, and I need to substitute them by "NA". It is def. not hard, I just don't see how.... In the prvious post, the first example had values on the source, but the second example didn't.... -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Filling-empty-List-in-a-FOR-LOOP-tp4522694p4523731.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Ok. I appreciate your help. i don't understand what you guys mean by "reproducible example", if you explained better, I will be more than glad to post it.

Try A[[1]] <- NA (It is of course up to you to do the tests, presumably using if(), to decide when to assign NA to the list element.) -Don -- Don MacQueen Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory 7000 East Ave., L-627 Livermore, CA 94550 925-423-1062 On 3/31/12 7:53 PM, "michaelyb" <cel81009759 at gmail.com> wrote:>Hello all, > >I am trying to automate a list to be filled in a FOR LOOP. >Basically I need to load info from a third source and store it into a >list. >This list goes to object "A"; The next list brought in by the LOOP goe to >object "B".. os on ans so forth. > >When the iteration on the LOOP goes well (which means it isn't empty) I >get >something like this: > >A >[[1]] > [,1] > [1,] "1130" > [2,] "1132" > [3,] "1134" > [4,] "1136" > [5,] "1138" > [6,] "1140" > [7,] "1142" > >[[2]] > [,1] > [1,] "7.54" > [2,] "6.55" > [3,] "4.20" > [4,] "3.50" > [5,] "2.92" > [6,] "2.42" > [7,] "1.99" > >However when the source is empty I get the following: > >A >[[1]] > [,1] > >[[2]] > [,1] > >I need to store NA in the latter one.
