Hello,

Yes, although there is an accepted solution, I believe you should post this solution there. It's a base R solution, what the question asks for.

And thanks, I would have never reminded myself of slice.index.

(I don't see this on stackoverflow; should I post this there too?)  Most of the magic package is devoted to handling arrays of arbitrary dimensions and this functionality might be good to include if anyone would find it useful.

    Hello,

    This came up in this StackOverflow post [1].

    If x is an array with n dimensions, how to subset by just one dimension?
    If n is known, it's simple, add the required number of commas in their
    proper places.
    But what if the user doesn't know the value of n?

    The example below has n = 3, and subsets by the 1st dim. The apply loop
    solves the problem as expected but note that the index i has
    length(i) > 1.


    x <- array(1:60, dim = c(10, 2, 3))

    d <- 1L
    i <- 1:5
    apply(x, MARGIN = -d, '[', i)
    x[i, , ]


    If length(i) == 1, argument drop = FALSE doesn't work as I expected it
    to work, only the other way does:


    i <- 1L
    apply(x, MARGIN = -d, '[', i, drop = FALSE)
    x[i, , drop = FALSE]


    What am I missing?
