I use few lines of code to select the common dates: setwd("./") list1<-read.table("THUL1",col.names=c("V1","V2")) list2<-read.table("INVK1",col.names=c("V1","V2")) B<-merge(list1,list2, by ="V1") Now, I wish to do something differently. I want to identify the dates that are in THUL1 but are not in INVK1 or vise versa, that is to identify uncommon dates among the two lists. Could you please assist me to achieve it. Thank you.
