I guess "invert" does the trick.
For recording ... example ..
file <- grep("Repurchase Price",file, fixed = TRUE, invert = TRUE)

Subject: Drop matching lines from readLines
Dear R-group,
I have some noise in my text file (coding issues!) ... I imported a 200 MB
text file using readlines
Used grep to find the lines with the error?
What is the easiest way to drop those lines? I plan to write back the
"cleaned" data set to my base file.
Thanks.
