This will create a list of the matrix subsets: # create a matrix x <- cbind(1:40, runif(40)) index <- c(10,15,33,40) # cut points # create a matrix with start and end points slices <- cbind(start=head(c(1,index + 1), -1), end=index) # create a list with the matrices matrix.subset <- lapply(seq(nrow(slices)), function(.row){ x[slices[.row, 1]:slices[.row, 2], ] }) matrix.subset
