Quote an inproceedings title in unsrtnat

Question

I am using unsrtnat.bst, but I need entries of type inproceedings to have their title quoted. The title line is:

format.title "title" output.check

I found a 'quote' function in another .bst file

FUNCTION {quote}
{ duplicate$ empty$
    { pop$ "" }
    { "``" swap$ * "''" * }
  if$
}

and changed the line to

format.title quote "title" output.check

and it almost works... it produces:

Author "Title", Conference

but unfortunately it needs to be

Author "Title," Conference

(the comma inside the quotes). Can anyone suggest a way to do this?

The comma after the title is produced by output.check. So a possibility (untested) would be to change the quote function in

FUNCTION {quoteleft}
{ duplicate$ empty$
    { pop$ "" }
    { "``" swap$ * }
  if$
}

and then

format.title quoteleft "title" output.check 
title $empty
  {}
  {"''" write$}
  if$

	Hm, the left quote appears in the correct position, but there is no right quote at all? – David Doria Oct 25 '12 at 19:17
	@DavidDoria forgot `write$` :-) – Guido Oct 25 '12 at 19:19
	Unfortunately, still nothing :( – David Doria Oct 25 '12 at 19:27
	The file I am using is here: pastebin.com/Zx04E7Mx (line 921 starts the @inproceedings function) – David Doria Oct 25 '12 at 19:29
	On IRC, someone showed me to define: FUNCTION {init.seq} { #0 'seq.num := "\def\swaptwo#1#2{#2#1}" write$ } and then replace { "`" swap$ * } in my original 'quote' function with { "`" swap$ * "\swaptwo{''}" * } . It seems to do the trick. – David Doria Oct 25 '12 at 20:51
