is there other easy way convert "aug/2016" "08/2016" in java?

my logic working fine, seems vague.

string mydate = "aug/2016";  string str = mydate.split("/")[0];  date date;             try {                 date = new simpledateformat("mmmm").parse(str);                  calendar cal = calendar.getinstance();                 cal.settime(date);                 system.out.println("##### ----- month in number  :   "  +cal.get(calendar.month+1));                  int year = calendar.getinstance().get(calendar.year);                 int mnth = cal.get(calendar.month) + 1;                   str = string.valueof(mnth+"/"+year);                 system.out.println("##### ----- new selected  date  :   "  +str);              } catch (parseexception e) {                 // todo auto-generated catch block                 e.printstacktrace();             }            

suggestions please!...

simply use simpledateformat:

    string mydate = "aug/2016";      simpledateformat parser = new simpledateformat("mmm/yyyy");     simpledateformat formatter = new simpledateformat("mm/yyyy");     system.out.println(formatter.format(parser.parse(mydate)));
