I frequently encounter a situation in which I want to remove a single element of an array. For example, if I am reading in a bunch of CSV files, I create the list of files to be read with:
        LIST    <- dir()
However, sometimes I want to exclude one or more files. I can accomplish this with a second command:
        LIST    <- LIST[LIST != "filename.to.be.excluded"]
This is cumbersome -- is there some more efficient code to accomplish this?

Doesn't negative indexing provide this?
