Re: trying to set the month of a JComboBox

Question

I am reading in from a file
Note my problem is trying to set the month of a JComboBox.
try
{ BufferedReader myinp;
myinp = new BufferedReader( new FileReader("myfile2.txt"));
while ((str = myinp.readLine()) !=null)
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(str, "\t");
txtfdInitials.setText(st.nextToken());
int expireday = Integer.parseInt( st.nextToken() );
for (int i = 0; i < 31; i++)
if ( Integer.parseInt(days) == expireday)
cdp.getComboDay().setSelectedIndex(expireday-1); // with days it is easy cos its int
String expiremonth = st.nextToken();
for (int i = 0; i < months.length; i++)
if (months[i].equals(expiremonth) )
//please help here
//for exmaple if expire month is March
// i want to do something like
//cdp.getComboDay().setSelectedIndex(2);
//it is easy to do with days as this is an integer but how can I do it with months.
// please help
myinp.close();
catch(IOException e)
{ System.err.println("Exception: " + e.getMessage());
System.exit(1);
Thanks in advance

sorry to all the experts,
At present I can't see the wood for the trees.
Have a lot on my plate.
Ignore the message:
String expiremonth = st.nextToken();
for (int i = 0; i < months.length; i++)
if (months.equals(expiremonth) )
cdp.getComboMonth().setSelectedIndex(i);
}
