[R] Removing columns from a matrix using a list

How does one remove columns either by name ("Exp1", "Exp2",
"Exp3", ...
"Exp100") or by column number from a matrix or data.frame using a list
of
names mynames =
("Exp10,"Exp20","Exp55","Exp67")

I would something in the form of (I know this does not work):

myMatrixEdited = myMatrix[,-mynames]

Or I would like to find the column numbers of the names in the list, and use
the column numbers to remove the columns in the matrix or data.frame.
