Removing objects from Environment using wildcard

General
1

Hi.

I have a lot of datasets and other objects in the environment. I want to delete the ones with the prefixes 'Sep' and 'Nov'.

I tried rm(sep*), but it shows an error:

Error: unexpected ')' in "rm(sep*)"

Please let me know if there is any way to solve this error.

Thank you.

You could try the following:

rm(list = ls()[substr(ls(),1,3) %in% c('Sep', 'Nov')])
