How can i filter column values?

Question

I'm new in R and i was trying to filter data from my table using a specific keyword. For example, I have a column "messages" and I want to get all data CONTAINING the word "apple" not only data exactly equal to "apple" and save it to a separate table. So I was wandering if there is a way for me to do this?

Use the `grep`, i.e. `df2 <- df1[grep("\\bapple\\b", df1$messages),]` — akrun, Nov 22 '16 at 13:58

We can use grep

df2 <- df1[grep("\\bapple\\b", df1$messages),]
