I have two spatial grids defined the same way (i.e., same number of rows and columns--and dimensions, both 2D). Wherever both
* the value of an element i,j in the first grid is NA * the value of element i,j in the second grid is !NA
I want to copy the value from grid2[i,j] to grid1[i,j].

[assuming] that the dimensions of the grids are the same[:]
grid1 <- c(1,2,NA,3,NA) grid2 <- c(101,102,103,104,NA) shouldCopy <- is.na(grid1) & !is.na(grid2) grid1[shouldCopy] <- grid2[shouldCopy] grid1
[1] 1 2 103 3 NA Thanks! I had no idea bitwise booleans (which are what come to my mind when I see '&' or '|') were overloaded thus.
But you would have if you had read the Intro to R tutorial that ships with R, or other online tutorial of your choice. Please make the effort. -- Bert Much more convenient than
*apply semantics for this task! Variants of the above now in use @ https://bitbucket.org/tlroche/aqmeii_ag_soil/src/c5fc8038281d0d5683d45bc797c59fc4b0a55c6b/combine_EDGAR_and_EPIC_emissions.r?at=master
