[R] remove objects(1-20, 25-30) OR remove objects(...) except(...)??

[Joerg Maeder]

Hello Ulrich,

i use the following function to remove all objects with names with one
or two letters. I use such variable names for temporary objects. I think
you can use something similary for your problem

clear <- function(){
 ll<-objects(1)
 ll<-ll[nchar(ll)<3]
 remove(list=ll,pos=1)
}
