r - Opposite of %in%: exclude rows with values specified in a vector

Question

A categorical variable V1 in a data frame D1 can have values represented by the letters from A to Z. I want to create a subset D2, which excludes some values, say, B, N and T. Basically, I want a command which is the opposite of %in%

D2 = subset(D1, V1 %in% c("B", "N", "T"))

Answer 1

You can use the ! operator to basically make any TRUE FALSE and every FALSE TRUE. so:

D2 = subset(D1, !(V1 %in% c('B','N','T')))

EDIT: You can also make an operator yourself:

'%!in%' <- function(x,y)!('%in%'(x,y))

c(1,3,11)%!in%1:10
[1] FALSE FALSE  TRUE
