我想补充的是，如果它是一个命名列表，你可以简单地使用。

l <- list(a = 1, b = 2)    
> within(l, rm(a))
$b
[1] 2

所以你可以覆盖原来的列表

l <- within(l, rm(a)) 

从列表l中删除名为a的元素。

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

单行从列表中删除Null元素:

x = x(((酸式焦磷酸钠(x, is.null) arr.ind = TRUE)))

干杯

purrr包中有几个选项没有被提到:

Pluck和assign_in可以很好地使用嵌套值，你可以使用名称和/或索引的组合来访问它:

library(purrr)

l <- list("a" = 1:2, "b" = 3:4, "d" = list("e" = 5:6, "f" = 7:8))

# select values (by name and/or index)
all.equal(pluck(l, "d", "e"), pluck(l, 3, "e"), pluck(l, 3, 1))
[1] TRUE

# or if element location stored in a vector use !!!
pluck(l, !!! as.list(c("d", "e")))
[1] 5 6

# remove values (modifies in place)
pluck(l, "d", "e") <- NULL

# assign_in to remove values with name and/or index (does not modify in place)
assign_in(l, list("d", 1), NULL)
$a
[1] 1 2

$b
[1] 3 4

$d
$d$f
[1] 7 8

或者你可以通过分配zap()或NULL使用modify_list删除值:

all.equal(list_modify(l, a = zap()), list_modify(l, a = NULL))
[1] TRUE

你可以使用带有discard和keep的谓词函数来删除或保留元素:

# remove numeric elements
discard(l, is.numeric)
$d
$d$e
[1] 5 6

$d$f
[1] 7 8

# keep numeric elements
keep(l, is.numeric)
$a
[1] 1 2

$b
[1] 3 4

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

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
