Binding rows of 2 data-frames which have non-identical columns

Question

Let's say i have these 2 data-frames:

abc
  name   salary age
1  raj 12345.55  36

xyz
  fruit cost quantity
1 apple  123       10

Now, if i use rbind, i get this error:

 rbind(abc,xyz)
Error in match.names(clabs, names(xi)) : 
  names do not match previous names

So, is there a way to bind the rows of these 2 columns/ 

Answer 1

You can use the smartbind() function from 'gtools' package:

>library(gtools)
> smartbind(abc,xyz)
  name   salary age fruit cost quantity
1  raj 12345.55  36  <NA>   NA       NA
2 <NA>       NA  NA apple  123       10
