obtaining row indexes from a list of column indexes

Thanks -- I want to retrieve the one list of indexes from the other,
without constructing the matrix. m and n might be 1e6, so constructing
the full matrix is to be avoided.
Edzer,

say m is your matrix of TRUE's and FALSE's, then:

 which(m,arr.ind=TRUE)

will give you the column and row numbers of the matrix satisfying the
conditions supplied to which.

Hope it helps

List,

given an arbitrary n x m boolean matrix, say

     [,1]  [,2]  [,3]  [,4]  [,5]
[1,] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
[2,] FALSE FALSE  TRUE FALSE FALSE
[3,] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
[4,] FALSE FALSE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE

I have the TRUE entries (indexes) of each column, in a list

[[1]]
integer(0)

[[2]]
integer(0)

[[3]]
[1] 2

[[4]]
[1] 4

[[5]]
[1] 4

How can I, from this list, efficiently obtain the TRUE entries of each
row, in this case

[[1]]
integer(0)

[[2]]
[1] 3

[[3]]
integer(0)

[[4]]
[1] 4 5

without constructing the n x m boolean matrix?
