A question on list and lapply
What about: lapply(Dat[names(Dat) != "P"], My_Function) You could use %in% if you actually want to match a longer set of names. Sarah On Fri, Dec 14, 2012 at 1:58 PM, Christofer Bogaso

Dear all, let say I have following list:
Dat <- vector("list", length = 26)
names(Dat) <- LETTERS
My_Function <- function(x) return(rnorm(5))
Dat1 <- lapply(Dat, My_Function)
However I want to apply my function 'My_Function' for all elements of 'Dat'
except the elements having 'names(Dat) == "P"'. Here I have specified the
name "P" just for illustration however this will be some name specified by
user.
Is there any direct way to achieve this, using 'lapply'?
Thanks for your help.
