#I have 2 dataframes df1 & df2. Each has a subset of all possible column names.
#How do I combine the 2 tables so that they contain all column names?
data1 <- c('2','3', '6', '8' , '9')
data2 <- c('1', '2', '3', '6')
df1 <- data.frame(matrix(data=NA, nrow=1, ncol=length(data1),
dimnames=list(NULL, paste('col', data1, sep='') ) ) )
df2 <- data.frame(matrix(data=data2, nrow=1, ncol=length(data2),
dimnames=list(NULL, paste('col', data2, sep='') ) ) )
e.g.
data1 <- c('2','3', '6', '8' , '9')
data2 <- c('1', '2', '3', '6')
df1 <- data.frame(matrix(data=NA, nrow=1, ncol=length(data1),
dimnames=list(NULL, paste('col', data1, sep='') ) ) )
df2 <- data.frame(matrix(data=data2, nrow=1, ncol=length(data2),
dimnames=list(NULL, paste('col', data2, sep='') ) ) )
#I want:
names3 <- sort( unique(c(names(df1), names(df2) ) ) )
df3 <- data.frame(matrix(data=c('1','2','3','6','8','9'), nrow=1,
ncol=length(names3), dimnames=list(NULL, names3 ) ) )
