Dear fellow R users,

I am replacing elements of a list like so:

pulse_subset[[1:20]]=unlist(pulse[i])[1:20]

If pulse is a list, then pulse[i] is also a list, with one element. I think you want pulse[[i]], which extracts element i.

If pulse_subset is a list, then pulse_subset[[1:20]] is equivalent to pulse_subset[[1]][[2]][[3]][[4]] ... [[20]], i.e. the syntax implies that it is a list containing a list etc, nested 20 levels deep. The error message is telling you that it's not. I'm not sure what your intention is in this case.

where pulse is a list of lists, and pulse [i] has >20 values.

This gives the error "Recursive Indexing failed at level 2". But, interestingly this instruction is part of a loop which has gone through about 200,000 iterations before giving this error.

Actual code:
> pulse_subset[[1:(length(unlist(pulse[i])[as.numeric(peak_start[i]):as.numeric(peak_end[i])]))]] <- unlist(pulse[i])[as.numeric(peak_start[i]):as.numeric(peak_end[i])]

Error in pulse_subset[[1:(length(unlist(pulse[i])[as.numeric(peak_start[i]):as.numeric(peak_end[i])]))]] <- unlist(pulse[i])[as.numeric(peak_start[i]):as.numeric(peak_end[i])] :
   recursive indexing failed at level 2

If anyone could shed some light I'd be rather grateful.

Jim Hargreaves
