这里有一个简单的解决方案，可以使用底数r。它从原始的数字列表中删除数字5。您可以使用相同的方法从列表中删除任何您想要的元素。

#the original list
original_list = c(1:10)

#the list element to remove
remove = 5

#the new list (which will not contain whatever the `remove` variable equals)
new_list = c()

#go through all the elements in the list and add them to the new list if they don't equal the `remove` variable
counter = 1
for (n in original_list){
  if (n != ){
    new_list[[counter]] = n
    counter = counter + 1
  }
}

new_list变量不再包含5。

new_list
# [1]  1  2  3  4  6  7  8  9 10

不知道你是否还需要回答这个问题，但我从我有限的(3周的自学R) R经验中发现，使用NULL赋值实际上是错误的或次优的，特别是当你在动态更新一个列表时，比如for循环。

更准确地说，使用

myList[[5]] <- NULL

会抛出错误

myList[[5]] <- NULL:替换长度为0

or

供应的元素多于可供替换的元素

我发现更有效的方法是

myList <- myList[[-5]]

下面是如何在R中删除列表的最后一个元素:

x <- list("a", "b", "c", "d", "e")
x[length(x)] <- NULL

如果x可能是一个向量，那么你需要创建一个新对象:

x <- c("a", "b", "c", "d", "e")
x <- x[-length(x)]

处理列表和向量

在命名列表的情况下，我发现这些helper函数很有用

member <- function(list,names){
    ## return the elements of the list with the input names
    member..names <- names(list)
    index <- which(member..names %in% names)
    list[index]    
}


exclude <- function(list,names){
     ## return the elements of the list not belonging to names
     member..names <- names(list)
     index <- which(!(member..names %in% names))
    list[index]    
}  
aa <- structure(list(a = 1:10, b = 4:5, fruits = c("apple", "orange"
)), .Names = c("a", "b", "fruits"))

> aa
## $a
##  [1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10

## $b
## [1] 4 5

## $fruits
## [1] "apple"  "orange"


> member(aa,"fruits")
## $fruits
## [1] "apple"  "orange"


> exclude(aa,"fruits")
## $a
##  [1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10

## $b
## [1] 4 5

使用lapply和grep:

lst <- list(a = 1:4, b = 4:8, c = 8:10)
# say you want to remove a and c
toremove<-c("a","c")
lstnew<-lst[-unlist(lapply(toremove, function(x) grep(x, names(lst)) ) ) ]
#or
pattern<-"a|c"
lstnew<-lst[-grep(pattern, names(lst))]

使用-(负号)与元素的位置一起，例如，如果要删除第三个元素，则使用your_list[-3]

输入

my_list <- list(a = 3, b = 3, c = 4, d = "Hello", e = NA)
my_list
# $`a`
# [1] 3

# $b
# [1] 3

# $c
# [1] 4

# $d
# [1] "Hello"

# $e
# [1] NA

从列表中删除单个元素

 my_list[-3]
 # $`a`
 # [1] 3

 # $b
 # [1] 3

 # $d
 # [1] "Hello"

 # $e
 [1] NA

从列表中删除多个元素

 my_list[c(-1,-3,-2)]
 # $`d`
 # [1] "Hello"

 # $e
 # [1] NA

 my_list[c(-3:-5)]
 # $`a`
 # [1] 3

 # $b
 # [1] 3

 my_list[-seq(1:2)]
 # $`c`
 # [1] 4

 # $d
 # [1] "Hello"

 # $e
 # [1] NA
