Below, the first command simply creates a list of 16 names (labels) which can be ignore.

In the 2nd and 3rd commands, I am able to identify names containing "black".

In line 4, I am trying to identify names containing "black" or "conserv" but obviously it does not work. Can someone help? Thanks.

Warning message:
In grep(c("black", "conserv"), names, value = TRUE) :
  argument 'pattern' has length > 1 and only the first element will be used


Try using the logical OR operator (vertical bar, AKA "pipe")

grep(c("black|conserv"), names, value=TRUE)
