[R] Deduping in R by multiple variables

[ramoss]

I have a dataset w/ 184K obs & 16 variables.  In SAS I proc sort nodupkey it
in seconds by 11 variables.
I tried to do the same thing in R using both the unique & then the
!duplicated functions but it just hangs there & I get no output.  Does
anyone know how to solve this?

This is how I tried to do it in R:


detail3 <-
[!duplicated(c(detail2$TDATE,detail2$FIRM,detail2$CM,detail2$BRANCH,
                             detail2$BEGTIME,
detail2$ENDTIME,detail2$OTYPE,detail2$OCOND,
                             detail2$ACCTYP
,detail2$OSIDE,detail2$SHARES,detail2$STOCKS,
                             detail2$STKFUL)),]

detail3 <-
unique(detail2[,c(detail2$TDATE,detail2$FIRM,detail2$CM,detail2$BRANCH,
          detail2$BEGTIME, detail2$ENDTIME,detail2$OTYPE,detail2$OCOND,
          detail2$ACCTYP ,detail2$OSIDE,detail2$SHARES,detail2$STOCKS,
          detail2$STKFUL)])




Thanks in advance
