I am currently devloping a java application where the application when
it is launched reads in a CSV file and then populates that data into a
JList. I would like the user to be able to select an item from the
JList and then click a button which deletes the row that item is in
within the CSV file. How would I go about doing this.

the only way to delete a string in a file is to copy the file up to
the slice, skip over the slice, and write the rest.

You can also chop a file, cutting off the tail.
