using nrow to identify one row
3 messages · Gregory Gentlemen, Henrique Dallazuanna, Gábor Csárdi
nrow is for number of rows in matrix/data.frame, here you can use: NROW(temp[1,]) length(temp[1,]) But if you want the index of row try this: unique(row(temp)[1,])

Hi fellow R-users,
I have run into a problem when trying to identify the number of rows in a matrix. Say we have an arbitrary 5 by 5 matrix called temp:
temp <- matrix(norm(25), nrow=5)
The problem is that nrow(temp[1,]) returns NULL. I would like it to return 1 because in my larger program I am indexing the rows of large matrices according to another variable and I need to test when the resulting matrices have 0, 1 or more rows.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Best regards,
Gregory Gentlemen

Try temp[1,,drop=FALSE] See ?"[" for the explanation. Gabor
