I would like to remove rows from the following data frame (df) if there are
only two specific elements found in the df$ch character string (I want to
remove rows with only "0" & "D" or "0" & "d"). Alternatively, I would like
to remove rows if the first non-zero element is "D" or "d".


                                                 ch     count
1  0000000000D0000000000000000000000000000000000000 0.007368;
2  0000000000d0000000000000000000000000000000000000 0.002456;
3  000000000T00000000000000000000000000000000000000 0.007368;

I tried the following but it doesn't work if there is more than one
character per string:

>df <- df[!df$ch %in% c("0","D"),]
>df <- df[!df$ch %in% c("0","d"),]

Any help greatly appreciated,
Claudia
