Hello, I have several data sets, which I want to combine column-by-column using "rbind" (the data sets have ~100 columns). The problem is, that in some data sets some of the columns are missing.
Simply using rbind gives me: "Error in match.names(clabs, names(xi)) : names don't match previous names" Is there a simple way to make R do the rbind despite the missing columns and to fill out the missing data with NA's? (I could program this somehow, but probably there is one very simple solution available) To make it clear here a simplified example. "unknown.command" is what I am looking for. A <- data.frame(a = c(1,2,3), b = c(4,5,6)) B <- data.frame(a = c(1,2,3)) unknown.command(A, B) - should give A B 1 4 2 5 3 6 4 NA 5 NA 6 NA Thank you for your help Klaus ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
