With a string of authors such as:

Carson, David, Milne, Rebecca, Pakes, Francis J., Shalev, Karen,
Shawyer, Andrea

I would like to write a function to change every other comma into a
semi colon (thereby defining where one name ends and the next begins).

I could do it by writing a complex (and slow) procedure - but is there
a quick way of doing it using regular expressions, for example?

Many thanks.
