i know you're not using coldfusion, but maybe this will inspire you or
someone else.  this is how i'd do it in coldfusion:

<cfparam name="alphabet"
default="a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z">

<cfparam name="letters" default="E,L,N,R,S,T">

<cfset alphabet = ReplaceList(alphabet, LCase(letters), letters)>

now you've got a comma-delimited list of letters with the lowercase versions
of the ones matching replaced with uppercase ones.

good luck,
