[R] setting elements to NA across an array

[Huntsinger, Reid]

It's easiest to reshape foo first:

d <- dim(foo)
dim(foo) <- c(d[1]*d[2],d[3])

m <- rowSums(is.na(foo))

and then assign

foo[m,] <- NA

and reshape

dim(foo) <- d

(Reshaping just makes the indexing easier).

Sorry for being obtuse. 

How can I build a logical statement that will set foo[2,2,] <- NA and
foo[3,5,] <- NA? Something like, if any row and column are NA, then
set NA to that row and column to NA for the entire array....
