[R] subset rows in two dataframes

[partofy at inoutbox.com]

Thanks for your reply.
In fact I dont get none error message, I just simply found that some
rows do not match in both dataframes. I thought it was some evident
problem with my code, but it seems it is not. I'll try to check and if I
can, I'll post a reproducible example.
