why the a[-indx] does not work?
myvec != 0 does the same as ifelse(myvec == 0, FALSE, TRUE) but more quickly Bill Dunlap Spotfire, TIBCO Software wdunlap tibco.com

probably you mean For '['-indexing only: 'i', 'j', '...' can be logical vectors, indicating elements/slices to select. ?Such vectors are recycled if necessary to match the corresponding extent. 'i', 'j', '...' can also be negative integers, indicating elements/slices to leave out of the selection. How can i convert the positives to TRUE and zeros and FALSE?

Look into help('[') or help('Subscript') to see
how integer and logical (Boolean) subscripts differ.

Dear all,
Could you please explain me why
OverloadsTesT
[1] 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
a<-matrix(data=seq(1,10),nrow=10)
a
[,1]
[1,]? ? 1
[2,]? ? 2
[3,]? ? 3
[4,]? ? 4
[5,]? ? 5
[6,]? ? 6
[7,]? ? 7
[8,]? ? 8
[9,]? ? 9
[10,]? ?10
a[-OverloadsTesT]
[1]? 2? 3? 4? 5? 6? 7? 8? 9 10
the last line does not remove the first and third element and only does the first element.?
What I want to do is for zeros to return the elements and for any positive value to remove it.
What I am doing wrong?
