Anyone got any hints on how to make this code more efficient? An early version (which to be fair did more than this one is) ran for 330 hours and produced no output.

I have a two column table, Dat, with 12,000,000 rows and I want to produce a lookup table, ltable, in a 1 dimensional matrix with one copy of each of the values in Dat:

for (i in 1:nrow(Dat))
{
for (j in 1:2)
{
#If next value is already in ltable, do nothing
if (is.na(match(Dat[i,j], ltable))){ltable <- rbind(ltable,Dat[i,j])}
}
}

but it takes forever to produce anything.

Any advice gratefully received.

Thomas
