Take numbers out of a Text File

794113Feb 17 2010 — edited Feb 17 2010

Hi,

I have a text file and its contents look like this:

Congress	NNP	I-NP
September	NNP	B-NP
2009	CD	I-NP
skip	NN	B-NP
to	TO	B-PP
-----
etc
-------

I want to delete the lines of the text file which contain a number in the beginning. So, in the third line whenever I can see 2009 I will simply remove that line from my text file.
So, new text file will have in contents:

Congress	NNP	I-NP
September	NNP	B-NP
skip	NN	B-NP
to	TO	B-PP

How to do this using a Java code? Should Regex be a solution to this?

Please help.

Thanks in advance
