Find the count of elements in one matrix equal to another

I need to compare the elements of two matrices and return a count of how many rows are exactly same. The ismember function returns one column for each column present in the matrix. But I want just one column indicating whether the row was same or not. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

If you want to compare corresponding rows of the two matrices, just use

result = all(A==B, 2);

Example:

>> A = [1 2; 3 4; 5 6]
A =
     1     2
     3     4
     5     6
>> B = [1 2; 3 0; 5 6]
B =
     1     2
     3     0
     5     6
>> result = all(A==B, 2)
result =
     1
     0
     1

If you want to compare all pairs of rows:

result = pdist2(A,B)==0;

Example:

>> A = [1 2; 3 4; 1 2]
A =
     1     2
     3     4
     1     2
>> B = [1 2; 3 0]
B =
     1     2
     3     0
>> result = pdist2(A,B)==0
result =
     1     0
     0     0
     1     0
