How to remove/ignore the element using SAXParser

Question

hello all,
I want to parse the text content in string from the existed xml file. but had problem with the parser. Does anyone have good idea, how to remove or ignore the <link> tag in tag <text>?
IS: the output is only the rest of part text behind <link style="blue" src="www.test.com" />.
Wanted: the whole text in <text> tags. like "Reach more customers by creating targeted micro-sites using test's multi-store retailing functionality."
Given below is my code :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test xmlns="http://www.test.com/test">
<title>test title</title>
<text>Reach more customers by creating targeted micro-sites using test's<link style="blue" src="www.test.com" /> multi-store retailing functionality.</text>
</test>java code using SAXParser
  public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
  public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException {
    if (qName.equals("text")) {
      System.out.println("content: " + text);
  public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length) throws SAXException {
    String str = new String(ch, start, length);
    if (str.length() > 0)
      text = text == null ? str : text + str;

i think u can't modify the xml file using SAX
SAX is only for reading XML
for any modifications in xml file u have to use DOM parser....
correct me if i m wrong....
