[R] compare strings

Just found out that I am actually dealing with factors:
> t3[1,5] == t3[1,3]
Error in Ops.factor(t3[1, 5], t3[1, 3]) : level sets of factors are
different

But the problem remains... how can I compare them?

Thanks,

Bernd

|Sorry for the question, but I really cannot find the right search terms to
|find an answer..
|
|
|
|I have a data frame with strings in some of the columns.
|
|I want to know all the rows where the strings in both columns are equal.
|
|
|
|How do I do this?
|
|
|
|Thanks,
