How would I hide a specific Character in a ListArray

Basically, i'm making a simple terminal file editor, which has basic syntax highlighting. I'm facing an issue where the character used for the 'cursor' (which is controlled by arrow keys) is fucking up the syntax highlighting. I use 2 variables which store its location (currentLine, and currentColumn), so how would I hide it or something off the syntax highlighting function? Code:

    static public int currentColumn = 0;
    static public int currentLine = 0;
    static private List<String> fileArray = new ArrayList<>();

    public static String highlightSyntax(String line) { // Highlight syntax
        line = line.replaceAll("\\bdef\\b", RED + "def" + RESET)
            .replaceAll("\\bwhile\\b", RED + "while" + RESET)
            .replaceAll("\\bprint\\b", YELLOW + "print" + RESET)
            .replaceAll("\\bif\\b", RED + "if" + RESET)
            .replaceAll("\\belse\\b", RED + "else" + RESET)
            .replaceAll("\\bint\\b", GREEN + "int" + RESET);
        return line;
    }

    static public int currentColumn = 0;
    static public int currentLine = 0;
    static private List<String> fileArray = new ArrayList<>();

    public static String highlightSyntax(String line) { // Highlight syntax
        line = line.replaceAll("\\bdef\\b", RED + "def" + RESET)
            .replaceAll("\\bwhile\\b", RED + "while" + RESET)
            .replaceAll("\\bprint\\b", YELLOW + "print" + RESET)
            .replaceAll("\\bif\\b", RED + "if" + RESET)
            .replaceAll("\\belse\\b", RED + "else" + RESET)
            .replaceAll("\\bint\\b", GREEN + "int" + RESET);
        return line;
    }
