Thank you all, Bert, Jeff, Bill an Don. I realized I made a silly mistake in list indexing. Once I saw Bills’ suggestion and was able to wrap my head around indexing recursive lists, I resolved the problem. For future readers, here is the answers, even though the question may not have been clear. I

Thank you Jeff and Bert. I know i have to use dput add provide a reproducible example. The problem is that the output,is huge, has many nested lists, and the info is private. Here is the first line of dput(FF) if it helps: dput(FF) list(list(list(structure(c("12/30 12/30", "01/02 01/02", "01/02 0

If you learn to use dput() to provide useful examples in your posts, you are more likely to receive useful help. It is rather difficult to make much sense of your messy text, though some brave soul(s) may try to help. Bert Gunter "The trouble with having an open mind is that people keep coming al

Hi All, I have a list that is made up of nested lists, as shown below. I want to remove all rows in each sub-list that start with an empty space, that’s the first entry of a row is blank; for example, on [[1]][[1]][[1]] Remove row 4,on [[1]][[1]][[3]] remove row 5, on [[1]][[2]][[1]] remove row 6,
