One question might be what other possible values can the rownames take.

For example, if you want to check for '.99999', but not for other values
containing a '9' after the decimal, something like the following should
work:

sub.c <- subset(c, 
                !rownames(c) %in% 
                grep("\\.([156])|([9]{5})", rownames(c), 
                     value = TRUE))

Otherwise, if you want to include anything with a '9' after a decimal,
the following would work:

sub.c <- subset(c, 
                !rownames(c) %in% 
                grep("\\.[1569]", rownames(c), value = TRUE))


See ?regex and the information there for some additional guidance. There
are also many regex references online, such as:

  http://www.regular-expressions.info/

BTW, it would be preferable not to use 'c' to name an object in R, since
c() is a function. While conflicts should, in general, not occur, it
eliminates such risk and makes for more easily readable code to not use
function names for objects.
