title: How to break apart a string value and re-arrange characters
body: <p>So from what I have found I would have to write a swap method?  Only problem is from the codes I have been looking over it is a bit over my head. </p>
  
  <p>I am getting a value from a xml file, for example "20120411" What I would like it to be once passed to another string is April 11, 2012, or at least 04/11/12.  I have found simple ways to do this in just about every other language besides java.  If its simple enough for someone to show me the code to accomplish this, or point me in the right direction I would appreciate it!</p>
