[R] frequency count by row

[mari681]

I feel this is a very easy thing but I've never done it before and it is
getting frustrating.
I have a big data.frame (1445846 rows,  15 col)
 that looks like this:

                V1          V2         V3          V4          V5

1    home      sister        brother   chair       0
2    cat             dog          animal      0           0
3    girl            boy           0                0           0
4    knife      fork          spoon          0            0

and I want to count how many values different from 0 are in each row, and
get the output count in a vector that is as long as length(MyTable). For the
above example it would be c (4,3,2,3).
I've tried   sum (MyTable != "0") but it gives the total amount of values
different from 0 in all the data.frame.
And sum(MyTable [1,] != "0") obviously gives only the first row, even if I
repeat it throughout all length(MyTable).
How does that work?

Thank you,

a newbie.
