the mud I play on, gives me the room exits in this format:

Room name (n,e,nw,s,enter)

The room exits are randomly placed (even if i re-enter the room, the exits might be in a different order)

what I want to do, is expand the names. where e=east w=west etc. anyone know a simple way to do this?

One problem is to know which lines contain the exits.
Without a good sample of mudoutput I can only hope that everything inside parenthesis always is exit information.

Now you can use a db variable to store the replacement info:
#ADDKEY alldirs {n=north|ne=northeast|e=east|se=southeast|s=south|sw=southwest|w=west|nw=northwest|u=up|d=down}

and a #SUBstitute trigger to replace the exits:
#TRIG {~((*)~)} {newdirs="(";#FORALL %replace("%1",",","|") {#VAR newdirs %concat(@newdirs,%if(%iskey(@alldirs,%i),%db(@alldirs,%i),%i),",")};#VAR newdirs %concat(%leftback(@newdirs,1),")");#SUB @newdirs}

now
#SH Room name (n,e,nw,s,enter)
gets converted to
Room name (north,east,northwest,south,enter)

Seems to work, but I haven't tested it extensively.
