1 2	## S3 replacement method for class 'largeList' x[index = NULL] <- value

`x`	A largeList object created by `getList`.
`index`	`NULL` or a numeric, logical, character vector.
`value`	`NULL`, a vector or a list.

It behaviours the same as a normal list object. If index is not provided, elements in value will be appended to the list file. If value is NULL, elements with given indices will be removed.

largeList

largelist_object <- getList("example.llo", truncate = TRUE)
largelist_object[] <- list("A" = 1, "B" = 2)  ## append list to the list file
largelist_object[] <- list("C" = 3, "D" = 4)  ## append list to the list file
largelist_object[1] <- NULL ## remove first element
largelist_object["B"] <- NULL ## remove element with name "B"
largelist_object[c("C","D")] <- c(5, 6) ## change value
largelist_object[2] <- 5 ## change value
largelist_object[c(4, 5)] <- list(6, 7) ## append 6, 7 to 4th, 5th position and NULL to 3rd position
