Need help in date formats 1

[royboy75]

Hello,

I am pulling from a database a date which is a string with this representation: For February 2007 it will be 200702, For March 2007 it will be 200703 and so on.
I need to transfer it to this format: 02.2007, 03.2007 to use it in a different source.
Can someone help me with this formatting please?

String newDate = dbDate.subString(4,6) + "." + dbDate.subString(0,4);
