title: How do I remove certain values from a file reader (utilizing an ArrayList)?
body: <p>I have an ArrayList:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ArrayList &lt;String&gt; farmAnimals = new ArrayList 
  
  try {
      String stringCurrentLine;
      reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("/Users/myUser/Downloads/farmAnimals.txt"));
          while ((stringCurrentLine = reader.readLine()) != null ) {
              farmAnimals.add(stringCurrentLine);
          }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After coding a for loop, it is printing out the list of farm animals like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code> 1. Pig
   2. Sheep
   3. Cow
   4. Horse
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a method where I can trim each String value as to where the numbers are gone and I just get the text values?</p>
