Truncating "The" with formatting string?

Alright, I seem to recall being able to do this, but I can't figure it out myself... can you take artists that have "The" at the beginning and move it so it's "Artist, The" instead? I need something that will search for "The " at the beginning of each artist tag, and if it exists then remove it and add ", The" to the end of the tag, but I'm not sure how I can do that. :/

$if($stricmp($substr(%artist%,1,4),'The '),$substr(%artist%,5,$len(%artist%))', The',%artist%)
