Thanks! (I have to admit, though, that I expected something simple)

It may not be what regexp's are good at, but the grep command in unix/ linux does what is required *very* simply via the ``-v'' flag. I conjecture that
it would not be difficult to add an argument with similar impact to the
grep() function in R.
