Removing values containing a specific character

Actually, it worked perfectly for my sample data, but my actual data has 5.5 million rows, and grep doesn't seem to work with over a million rows. Any idea on a workaround?
It is not a matter of grep() but of available memory, I guess. Hence try to reduce the number of copies of your data, e.g. by not generating an interim df2. Best, Uwe Ligges

Hi,
Try this:
df[]<-lapply(df,as.character)
df2<-df
df[,1][grep("@",df$names)]<- ""
df
#names emails
#1 bob bobj at cup.com
#2 joe joesmith at gmail.com
#3 craig at gmail.com
#4 emily emily2 at yahoo.com
#5 jane at yahoo.com
#2nd part:
df2[-grep("@",df2$names),]
names emails
#1 bob bobj at cup.com
#2 joe joesmith at gmail.com
#4 emily emily2 at yahoo.com
