hi just new to this course:

is it possible to join two dataframes to form a new dataframe and compare
each element by df.column to find the difference and assign the logical
value for indexing? eg.

df1=                   df2                            dfNew=                   

 c    b    p          c   b   p          c1   c2   b1   b2   p1    p2   diff  
newcol logical   
01  aa   100       01 aa  110       01   01   aa   aa   100  110    10

02  bb   200       02 bb  200       02   02   bb   bb   200  200     0

how am i going do it in octave or is there any wiser solution for these? 
thanks in advance.

I think you should post your question on the help-octave mailing list.  The octave-maintainers list is intended for developers of Octave and is unlikely to have the readers who would be answering your question.
