Inspired by recent conversions to learn more about the new syntax of the Substitute() function, I have implemented a simple enchefalizer as a custom function. This is a brute force approach. I will next attempt a slightly more intelligent approach using recursion.

OK, two things...

1) also post it to Brian Dunnings web site, which is rapidly becoming THE repository for FMP custom functions.

The Enchefalizer/Encheferizer program was a useless but amusing program CGI that took normal English text and converted it to resemble the mock Swedish spoken by the Swedish Chef character from the Muppet Show.

Google provides a Swedish Chef version of their user interface...

Bork-style translation is occasionally used as programming assignment in school, because it's a simple demonstration of linguistic parsing. It's also an internet in-joke phenomenon akin to the Monty Python spam sketch and "All your base are belong to us."
