This sounds like you want an equivalent of all(LHS %in% x) However, in your original post, you used all(x %in% LHS) What is correct? If the equality of x and LHS should be tested, then try setequal(x, LHS) If the rows may contain repeated elements and the number of repetitions should also match, then try identical(sort(x), sort(LHS)) with a precomputed sort(LHS) for efficiency. If the number of the different character values in the whole matrix is not too large, then efficiency of the comparison may be improved, if the matrix is converted to a matrix consisting of integer codes instead of the original character values. See ?factor for the meaning of "integer codes". After this conversion, the comparison can be done by comparing integers instead of character values, which is faster. Hope this helps.
