[R] Newbie wants to compare 2 huge RDSs row by row.

If your two objects have class "data.frame" (look at
class(objectName)) and
they
both have the same number of columns and the same order of columns and the
column types match closely enough (use all.equal(x1, x2) for that), then
you can try
     which( rowSums( x1 != x2 ) > 0)
E.g.,> x1 <- data.frame(X=1:5, Y=rep(c("A","B"),c(3,2)))
> x2 <- data.frame(X=c(1,2,-3,-4,5),
Y=rep(c("A","B"),c(2,3)))
> x1  X Y
1 1 A
2 2 A
3 3 A
4 4 B
5 5 B> x2   X Y
1  1 A
2  2 A
3 -3 B
4 -4 B
5  5 B> which( rowSums( x1 != x2 ) > 0)[1] 3 4

If you want to allow small numeric differences but exactly character matches
you will have to get a bit fancier.  Splitting the data.frames into
character and
numeric parts and comparing each works well.

[R] Newbie wants to compare 2 huge RDSs row by row.

Cool, looks like that'd do it, almost as if converting an entire record to a
character string and comparing strings.

I'd like to know the record number (row #?) of any record where the data

Thanks in advance, M.

Also, it will be easier to provide helpful information if you'd describe
what in your data you want to compare and what you hope to get out of the
comparison.

Hi Marsh,
An RDS is not a data structure such as a data.frame. It can be anything.
For example if I want to save my objects a, b, c I could
do:> saveRDS( list(a,b,c,), file="tmp.RDS")
Then read them back later with> myList <- readRDS( "tmp.RDS" )
Do you have additional information about your "RDSs" ?

Eric

[R] Newbie wants to compare 2 huge RDSs row by row.

The anti_join from the package dplyr might also be handy.

install.package("dplyr")
library(dplyr)
anti_join (x1, x2)

You can get help on the different functions by ?function.name(), so
?anti_join() will bring you help - and examples - on the anti_join
function.

It might be worth testing your approach on a small subset of the data. That
makes it easier for you to follow what happens and evaluate the outcome.
