small reprex:
set.seed(5)
dat <- data.frame(f = rep(c('r','g'),4), y = runif(8))
newdat <- data.frame(f =rep(c('r','g','b'),2))
## convert values in newdat not seen in dat to NA
is.na(newdat$f) <-!( newdat$f %in% dat$f)
lmfit <- lm(y~f, data = dat)
##Result:
> predict(lmfit,newdat)
1 2 3 4 5 6
0.4374251 0.6196527 NA 0.4374251 0.6196527 NA
If this does not suffice, as Rui said, we need details of what you did.
(predict.glm works like predict.lm)
