Dear People,

I have got the following example for a vector and the index of the TRUE
element:

Myvector<- c(FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE)
which(Myvector)

Now I would like to find out the same for a list:

Mylist<- list(FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE)

...

Does anyone know how to do this?

What are the possible values in your list? If it always contains TRUE and FALSE and nothing else, then unlist() will work (as suggested by others). If there are other possibilities, unlist() might mess up, e.g.

unlist( list(TRUE, 1:3, FALSE) )

won't give a vector of length 3.  In that case,

which(sapply(MyList, isTRUE) )

might be what you want.
