I'm working on a program but I cannot figure out how to do the following commented out lines of text in bold below...can anyone help?

public void cutText()

{
tempText = area.getSelectedText(); // get text highlighted to be cut
int lenCut = tempText.length(); // size of cut text
String oldText = area.getText(); // get all text
int lenAll = oldText.length(); // size of all text
int end = area.getSelectionEnd() ; // get cursor position of end of highlighted text
// Get the substring of oldText from beginning to start of highlight
// Get the substring of oldText from end of highlighted text to end of oldText (lenAll)
// Concatenate the two substrings and place in String newText
// place one statement here to do the above 3 commented lines
// Place your line here
area.setText(newText); // set Text of area to be the newText
area.setCaretPosition(start );//places cursor at the beginning of where cut was made
}

Thanks,'
