Hi,
  What commands would I look at to compare row-by-row two data frames
of the same size and print out any differences between the two?

Thanks,
Mark


So I got an answer using the following code:

XXX = cbind(SystemWithCP, SystemWithoutCP)
head(XXX)
names(XXX)[14] = "NewPLPos"
head(XXX)
YYY = subset(XXX, XXX$PL_Pos != XXX$NewPLPos)

write.csv(YYY, "C:\\Dave1.csv")

This works (I suppose) because the two data.frames are exactly the
same size. Seems like there probably a much better way to do it but
this seems to work.

Sorry if this ends up being a dup, I forgot to include the list in the reply.

yyy <- SystemWithCP - SystemWithoutCP
yyy[apply(yyy,1,function(x) any(x != 0))]


This gives you the row they differ on and the column that is different, but not 
the actual values.
You might also try a modification on what you have above

yyy <- subset(cbind(SystemWithCP,SystemWithoutCP), SystemWithCP$PL_Pos != 
SystemWithoutCP$PL_Pos)


Which gives you the same as your example without the modified names.
I'm not entirely clear on if you need to retain the values or just that they 
are different.
