one way is the following:

col1 <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6)
col2 <- c(6,5,4,3,2,1)
m <- cbind(col1, col2)
col3 <- c(1,3,2,6)
col4 <- c(6,3,5,1)
n <- cbind(col3, col4)

ind.n <- do.call(paste, c(as.data.frame(n), sep = "\r"))
ind.m <- do.call(paste, c(as.data.frame(m), sep = "\r"))
ind.n %in% ind.m


I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris

Hi everyone:



   I have a kinda easy question but i do not know how to solve that in a simple 
way.

   I want to compare the rows of two matrices.



   col1<- c(1,2,3,4,5,6)

   col2<- c(6,5,4,3,2,1)

   m<-  cbind(col1, col2)



   col3<- c(1,3,2,6)

   col4<- c(6,3,5,1)

   n<- cbind(col3, col4)



   In matrix n,  for example the first row is (1,6), it is also some row in matrix m, i 
want the code results "TRUE".  then for the 2nd row (3,3), it should be FALSE.

   So in this case it should be (TRUE, FALSE, TRUE, TRUE)



   I tried %in% or is.element for a row in n and matrix m, but it does not work.

   I think I can also write two loops to compare the rows of m and n one by 
one, but it takes a long time to run.

   Could anyone tell me how to solve this?





Thank you very much!!
