I'd like to eliminate the Indeterminate  (or other non-numerical terms,
as Infinite, etc...) items. Es.


x = {-1.25664, 0.628319, -0.628319, 1.25664, Indeterminate, -1.25664,
   0.628319, -0.628319, 1.25664, Indeterminate};

or

x=Table[1/(3 - n), {n, 0, 5}])
{1/3, 1/2, 1, ComplexInfinity, -1,-1/2}

How can I do it with a simple command?
Many thanks, Roberto

Oggetto: Re: ReplacePart


{5,10} is apparently interpreted as a position within an array rather
than a list of positions. Not sure why the algorithm isn't able to
resolve the ambiguity given that the input is a simple list. Or why
there is no error stating that position {5,10} does not exist.


x = {-1.25664, 0.628319, -0.628319, 1.25664, Indeterminate, -1.25664,
   0.628319, -0.628319, 1.25664, Indeterminate};


x2 = x /. Indeterminate -> 0


{-1.25664, 0.628319, -0.628319, 1.25664, 0, -1.25664, 0.628319,
-0.628319, \ 1.25664, 0}


x2 ==
 ReplacePart[x, {5 -> 0, 10 -> 0}] ==
 ReplacePart[x, Thread[{5, 10} -> 0]] ==  ReplacePart[x, {{5} -> 0, {10}
-> 0}] ==  ReplacePart[x, {{5}, {10}} -> 0] ==  ReplacePart[x, List=
 /@
{5, 10} -> 0] ==  ReplacePart[x, Position[x, Indeterminate] -> 0]


True
