Well the screamingly obvious way to do in Python what I think your
imprecise question is asking is:

"foo_bar zot plugh _ xyzzy".replace("_", " ").split() ['foo', 'bar', 'zot', 'plugh', 'xyzzy']

Talking about screaming, I fled screaming from perl at about the perl 3
stage -- I can't help you any further; I don't want to turn into a
pillar of salt.

Why don't you ask stupid perl questions on comp.lang.perl??

Cheers,
John
