You can do this with replace regex:

String justABC = "ABC (2-8 Days)".replaceAll("\\(.*\\)","()");

The first argument of .replaceAll says that we going to match to (anything) and the second that you want to replace match with just brackets. Doubleslashes here to escape brackets.

This should work:

String truncText = CurrentString.split("(")[0];

I'm unfamiliar with Java so you may wind up needing to do this instead:

String[] separated = CurrentString.split("(");
String truncText = seperated[0];
