Hello,

I am trying to save a large matrix of values in a file. My problem is that I am
writing
write.table(allpos,'control_chr1.txt', dec=".")
and then I want to check it with
test2=read.table('control_chr1.txt')
sum(test2[,2]==allpos[,2])

This last number is lower than the length of the test2[,2] vector. This is really annoying me because I can't figure out why I don't get out the same thing
that I put in.

Many potential problems could underly getting FALSE for an "==" test. One might be FAQ 7.31. Another might be encoding or locale issues related to the decimal separator. Why not post a reproducible example?
