What you are asking for sounds difficult. It seems you would need to
parse the string apart, determine what in it qualifies as a variable,
and then concatenate the results using variable substitution. To my
knowledge there is no existing function, but you could probably write an
extension.

Instead it would be trivial to set the script variable after you have
the title variable like this:
   <xsl:variable name="title" select="'no_title'"/>
   <xsl:variable name="script"
select="concat('sdfhskadh__',$title,'_')"/>
