First of all this is a trigger from Zmud, its not really a sub but it adds info to a players classes.

trigger is as follows

Remort: (%*) $

replace_classes = ""
tier_classes = %1
tier_classes = %replace(@tier_classes," / ",|)
#FORALL @tier_classes {#FORALL @class_list {#IF %ismember(%i,@%j) {#ADDITEM replace_classes {%j~(%i~)}}}
replace_classes = %replace(@replace_classes,"|"," %ansi(grey)/%ansi(cyan) ")
#IF (@replace_classes = "") {} {#SUBSTITUTE {Remort~: %ansi(cyan)@replace_classes}}}

example mud output
Remort: Sage / Gladiator / Deacon
what i want it to display
Remort: Sage(Mage) / Gladiator(Warrior) / Deacon (Cleric)
or someting similar

Compatibility report tells me

Trigger Remort: (%*) $
Does not compile : unmatched parenthesis at row 2 col 32
%1 within quotes is not expanded [Help] : " tier_classes = %1 tier_classes = %replace(@tier_classes,"

Trying to understand the compatibility report, have tried lots of diffent changes to the trigger with no results

Thanks for any info

1. Don't use (%*) as your wildcard. Use (*) instead. This is a good practice in zMUD or CMUD.
2. The Compatibility Report isn't 100% infallible, especially when it comes to parsing double quotes. You can probably safely ignore the warning about %1 not being expanded. You might want to put double quotes around the | in the first %replace, however.

Adding the quotes to the Pipe ("|") allow sit to compile now but the trigger still isnt working..... Ideas?

You have a space character between the the ) and the $ in your trigger pattern. Is that intentional? Do your lines end with a space?

yes there is a space after the last Class.
the trigger is fireing and the / is being replaced by the |
i know by putting some #say's in the trigger
the #forall is not adding to the list like i want it to
i have a variable lists like
#var class_list Warrior|Mage|Cleric|Thief|Psionicist|Paladin|Ranger
#var Warrior Gladiator|Armsmaster|Battlemaster|Warlord|Liege|Veteran|Champion|Savage|General
etc
the variable replace_classes is empty

trigger currently looks like
replace_classes = ""
tier_classes = %1
tier_classes = %replace(@tier_classes," / ","|")
#say @tier_classes
#FORALL @tier_classes {#FORALL @class_list {#IF %ismember(%i,@%j) {#ADDITEM replace_classes {%j~(%i~)}}}
replace_classes = %replace(@replace_classes,"|"," %ansi(grey)/%ansi(cyan) ")
#IF (@replace_classes = "") {} {#SUBSTITUTE {Remort~: %ansi(cyan)@replace_classes}}}

thanks for any help

Your script as it is at the moment is running the penultimate and final lines for every item in @tier_classes:

awesome it works !! u are right about the last replace and sub only need to be done once. not sure what got copied wrong cause my code looks like yours after i correct the @{%j}. I am gueesing i have to add the {} so cmud will evaluate %j?

thanks again for the help

It'll actually evaluate %j fine, but it won't then evaluate the @whatever result so it'll be looing for %i in the literal string "@Warrior" or something which obviously won't ever match.
