CBIND: cbind 'data.frames' with different number of rows

In mrdwab/AMsnippets: Useful function "snippets"

Description

cbind does not work when trying to combine data.frames with differing numbers of rows. This function takes a list of data.frames, identifies how many extra rows are required to make cbind work correctly, and does the combining for you.

Usage

  CBIND(datalist)

Arguments

datalist

A list of data.frames that you want to combine by columns.

Details

The CBIND function also works with nested lists by first "flattening" them using the LinearizeNestedList function by Akhil S Bhel.

Examples

# Example data
df1 <- data.frame(A = 1:5, B = letters[1:5])
df2 <- data.frame(C = 1:3, D = letters[1:3])
df3 <- data.frame(E = 1:8, F = letters[1:8], G = LETTERS[1:8])

CBIND(list(df1, df2, df3))

# Nested lists:
test1 <- list(list(df1, df2, df3), df1)
str(test1)

CBIND(test1)
