The 'length' function returns the number of items at the top level of a list. As such it returns the number of columns of a dataframe which is a type of list. The quotes around "Length:368842" make it appear that you are quoting from some sort of output, although its nature is unclear. Rather than abstracting from information that you don't know how to interpret it would have been better to include the entire output. The `summary` function is generic and therefore can vary widely in what it prints to the console. You should instead post the output from str() applied to each of your "files". It does a better job of displaying object structure. -- David. > Thanks in advance, M. > > // > ________________________________________ > From: Ulrik Stervbo [ulrik.ster...@gmail.com] > Sent: Saturday, January 27, 2018 10:00 AM > To: Eric Berger > Cc: Marsh Hardy ARA/RISK; r-help@r-project.org > Subject: Re: [R] Newbie wants to compare 2 huge RDSs row by row. > > 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, > Ulrik > > Eric Berger <ericjber...@gmail.com<mailto:ericjber...@gmail.com>> schrieb am > Sa., 27.
