rmNULL function

remove NULL entries from list

rmNULL(x, nullValue = NULL, ...)

Arguments

• x: list or other object which may contain NULL.
• nullValue: character optional replacement value, default NULL, which causes the entry to be removed.
• ...: additional arguments are ignored.

Returns

list with NULL entries either removed, or replaced with nullValue. This function is typically called so it removed list elements which are NULL, resulting in a list that contains non-NULL entries. This function can also be useful when NULL values should be changed to something else, perhaps a character value "NULL" to be used as a label.

Details

Examples

x <- list(A=1:6, B=NULL, C=letters[11:16]);

rmNULL(x, nullValue=NA)
