        Is there a function someplace to compare lengths?


        For example, if "longer object length is not a multiple of
shorter object length", "a/b" issues a warning.  I'd like something with
more flexibility in what is reported.


        Hadley Wickham's "testthat" and "assertthat" packages provide
tools for testing and comparing objects, but I didn't see this.


        I'm starting to write "compareLengths(x, y, name.x=NULL,
name.y=NULL, Source='', compFun=c('length', 'NROW'),
action=c(comparable='', incomparable='warning'), maxChar=20, ...)".
However, I'd prefer to use an existing function if I can find one that I
feel is adequate.


You posted this question (with a different subject line) yesterday. What is wrong with the response I sent then?


Your earlier response was great, but I didn't see it until I received this reply.


I apologize for sending essentially the same question twice. It was not my intent. I missed Duncan's reply and couldn't find my original email in my "sent" folder. I concluded erroneously that I may have deleted the draft rather than sending it.


      Thanks again,
      Spencer Graves
