How to remove the first row of each element in a list

Question

I know how to remove the first column from each element in a list in R, but how do I remove the first row?

ldf1<-lapply(ldf, "[", -1)

Answer 1

We can use map

library(purrr)
library(dplyr)
ldf1 <- map(ldf, ~ .x %>% 
                     slice(-1))

Answer 2

You can do

ldf1 <- lapply(ldf, tail, -1)

Using tail() with a negative number will remove that many rows from the top of the data.frame.

But you could also pass an empty parameter to lapply

lapply(ldf, `[`, -1, )

or use an anonymous function

lapply(ldf, function(x) x[-1, ])
