If you made a text filter using sed it would be as simple as:

 sed 's#_# #g'

I'm on my iPad at the moment so I can't check out exactly how it's done but I 
think it would be something like 

     #!/bin/sh

     cat $@ | sed 's#_# #g'

    
Or perhaps the cat should be an echo. Anyway you get the idea hopefully.
