Hi,
What's a script that will take a name in the form of "STOOGE,
CURLY" and turn it into "Curly Stooge" This would be an absolute
cinch in PHP or Perl - but I'd rather not have to be calling out to
the Terminal to execute a Perl one-liner every time I want to do
this..
For that matter, is there an OSAX to call Perl or PHP directly
from Applescript, without the overhead of the 'do script' command
to Terminal.

Pattern matching with a 'do shell script' perl one liner is the
easiest, and can allow for the most variations. What overhead?
He didn't know about 'do shell script' and thought he had to run
Terminal.app to access Unix goodies.
