R finding rows of a data frame where certain columns match those of another [duplicate]

Answer 1

If you use data.tables and key by the columns you want to match, then you can accomplish your goal in one line:

    tData[tBounce, Bounced := 1L]

---

Here is the full process:

library(data.table)
keys <- c("Email", "Campaign")
tData <- data.table(testData, key=keys)
tBounce <- data.table(testBounce, key=keys)

tData[tBounce, Bounced := 1L]

Results:

tData
