One way ....

seq(test1)[-which(test1==test2)]

but I imagine there are better ones .....

Subject: [R] indices of mismatch element in two vector with missing values

How would you return the index where two vectors differs if they may contain missing (NA) values?
For example:
test1 <- c("1","2",NA);
test2 <- c("1","2","3");
which(test1!=test2) does not return 3!

Thanks in advance.
