Hi ! I have a vector: vec= TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE TRUE FALSE and I'm looking for a method which let me get only the first values equal TRUE from this vector. It means that I want to get a vector: vec_out = TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE or posictions values = TRUE: vec_out = 1,2,3,4
?rle > vec[ 1:rle(vec)$lengths[1] ] [1] "TRUE" "TRUE" "TRUE" "TRUE" Although that approach would faid if the first element were "FALSE".
