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

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.

Hi Guys, I apologize for my rank & utter newness at R.
I used summary() and found about 95 variables, both character and numeric, all
with "Length:368842" I assume is the # of records.
I'd like to know the record number (row #?) of any record where the data
doesn't match in the 2 files of what should be the same output.
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.
Best wishes,

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" ?
