#sample words
words <- c("fixing","Dog","Carting","kite","running","playing")
#find words ending in 'ing'
result <- regexpr("^[a-zA-Z]+ing$",words)
result
[1] 1 -1 1 -1 1 1
attr(,"match.length")
[1] 6 -1 7 -1 7 7
attr(,"useBytes")
[1] TRUE
# you can use result to take out the offending words:
new.words <- words[-which(result>0)]
new.words
[1] "Dog" "kite"
Hope that helps.
