Name Resolver
 
I'm using a couple of string list variables along with a trigger to help REMEMBER names

I'm attempting to use this old ZMUD code to handle the task

https://zuggsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=91401

I have two issues

First and most important

<trigger priority="150" id="15">
<pattern>^({@LongName})</pattern>
<value>#substitute %-1 {%1 (%item( @CommonName, %ismember( "%1", @LongName)))}</value>
</trigger>

is creating another trigger when I have a match instead of changing the MUD output text
<trigger priority="160" id="16">
<pattern>A hardy, square-jawed fool</pattern>
<value>#sub {%1 (%item( @CommonName, %ismember( "%1", @LongName)))}</value>
</trigger>


Second and less importantly

My addname alias is not storing the variables

<alias name="addname" id="14">
<value>#additem CommonName {%1}
#additem LongName {%-2} 
</value>
</alias>

When I execute this command

Addname Bill A hardy, square-jawed fool

ERROR: Syntax error in Alias: addname : extra } brace

    This should be all you need.
    Enter it on the command line.

    #ALIAS addName {
    $comon=%param(1)
    $long=%params(2)
    #ADDKEY nameList $long $common
    }

    #TRIGGER {({@nameList})} {#SUB {%db(@namelist, %1)}}

    Very close but I would like the MUD TEXT to be

    LongName (CommonName)

    The current version only displays the CommonName

    as a bonus coloring the CommonName in white :)

    #SUB {%1 (<color white>%db(@nameList, %1)</color>)}

    FYI the final in process version is

    TRIGGER
    <trigger priority="240" id="24">
    <pattern>({@nameList})</pattern>
    <value><![CDATA[#SUB {<color purple>%1</color> (<color white>%db(@nameList, %1)</color>)}]]></value>
    </trigger>

    ALIAS
    <alias name="addName" id="21">
    <value>$common=%param(1)
    $long=%params(2)
    #ADDKEY nameList $long $common</value>
    </alias>
