When the code to find the phrase "file error" in the file removes the whole line

Question

I have difficulties in developing a java code to remove an entire row in a file when you find the word "file error".

When code finds the phrase "file error" in the file (.txt), it should remove the whole line containing the phrase.

Could anyone help me?

You can do with the following steps:

Create a temporary file
Open both the files. Original file for reading and temp file for writing
Read from the original file, line by line and write it into temp file
If the line contains text "file error" skip that line
Once reading is finished, delete the original file and rename the temp file to original file.
