[R] ls() pattern question

[Kai Yang]

Hello List,
I have many data frames in environment.  I need to keep 3 data frames only, con DB2 and ora. 
I write the script to do this. 
rm(ls(pattern != c("(con|DB2|ora)")))


but it give me an error message:


Error in rm(ls(pattern != c("(con|DB2|ora)"))) : 
  ... must contain names or character strings

I think the pattern option doesn't support != ? and is it possible to fix this?
Thank you,
Kai
