How to filter data based on one word of a column value?

Question

I have a dataframe that simplified looks like this only it has 2k rows. I\'m wondering if there\'s a way to either extract data or filter data by the values in the LocationI

Answer 1

We can do this with tidyverse

library(dplyr)
library(stringr)
df1 %>% 
    filter(str_detect(LocationID, '\\b(River|Creek)\\b'))
#   LocationID Code
#1  Alk River  232
#2 Bala River 4324
#3 Cake River  432
#4  Alk Creek 6767
#5 Cake Creek  766
