[R] How to create a data.frame "like" another, but longer?

[Kaspar Pflugshaupt]

Hello,

does anyone know of a quick way to create a data frame "like" another, but
with more rows?

What I'd like to do is this:

if mydata is a data.frame like

a   b       c
1   TRUE    yes
2   FALSE   no
3   TRUE    yes

I'd like to get mydata2 with the same column names and column types, but
without the values and with more rows.

All I could think of was to manually do mydata2 <- maydata, then repeat
mydata2 <- rbind(mydata2, mydata2) until mydata2 is long enough, then cut to
desired length and overwrite with new data. Not exactly elegant...

Is there a R function or some handy trick to achieve this?


Cheers

Kaspar
