I have two data files:

file1
Code:
12345 aa bbb cccc

76543 pp rrr bbbbb
34567 nn ccc sssss
87654 qq ppp rrrrr

file2
Code:
98765
34567

I need to remove the lines from file1 if the first field contains a value that appears in file2:

output
Code:
12345 aa bbb cccc
76543 pp rrr bib
87654 qq ppp rrrrr
