how can I convert record alias from n;n;n;n;n;n;n;n;e;e;e;e;e;e;e;e; -->8n8e

The best you will be able to get is the %pathcompress() function, but it takes a stringlist as an argument. You'd have to change the ; to |, which, if you don't want to do by hand can be done via the %replace() function

Thank you,MattLofton for your advise
I try to do something like this script
| Code: |
#trigger {^~((*)~)$} {#var StoreAl {%1} }
#alias convert {#show %pathcompress(%replace(@StoreAl,~;,~|));#var StoreAl {}}
|
If I'd like to recored like this alias
e;e;e;e;e;enter portal
I have to type something like
#say (e;e;e;e;e;enter portal)
then it will be kept in variable "StoreAl"
after that I type "convert"
but the result I got is
.5e;.(enter portal)
can't is be like this --> 5e;enter portal ?

The issue is that %pathcompress() uses zscript directions as created by #direction, which are one-letter macros specially designed to work with the automapper. "enter portal" thus becomes an undefined direction and is subsequently ignored for processing (special code splits the defined directions away from the undefined ones, which is why the period appears).
There are two ways to fix this. One, you could set up a new #direction that equates to "enter portal". It'd look something like this (o = other direction):
#direction pp "enter portal" other
That will make %pathcompress() happy, but the basic version of this direction might cause other problems (particularly with the automapper). You CAN use zscript code for the command in quotes, but it's been several years, lots of experience, and several zmud versions since I last attempted that and at the time I don't think I was able to get it fully working so I gave up.
The other way is to simply use a loop of some kind to iterate through each direction in the list and apply your own logic. The below can replace the trigger you created (you'll have to fill in the bolded parts):
#trigger {the pattern you had} {
olddir = ""
dircount = 1
NewPathVariable = ""
#forall %replace("%1",";","|") {#if (%ismember(%i,"n|ne|nw|e|w|se|sw|s|u|d")) {#if (%i = @olddir) {#add dircount 1} {NewPathVariable = %concat(@NewPathVariable,%if(@dircount > 1,@dircount)@olddir);olddir = %i;dircount = 1}} {NewPathVariable = %concat(@NewPathVariable,";",%i)}}
