Any one have or know of a function to convert ugly "NAME, USER" to "User Name"?
Maybe something like:
s/^(\w+), ?(\w+)$/ucfirst(lc $2) . ' ' . ucfirst(lc $1)/e
Nice, very useful! Only now I have a small problem with names like "O'CONNELL, BOB"
Yes you do! :) The ' character isn't covered under my \w above. I'll switch it to a character class to show how to fix it, but you may need to refine it a little further.
s/^([A-Z'] +), ?([A-Z']+)$/ucfirst(lc $2) . ' ' . ucfirst(lc $1)/e
Hope that helps.
