Seems to be that the expression string contains some extra (invisible) characters when copy-pasted from the site:

    $ od -Xc
expr {[string first “%40” [mcget {session.server.landinguri}]] – 1}

           e   x   p   r       {   [   s   t   r   i   n   g       f   i

           c   g   e   t       {   s   e   s   s   i   o   n   .   s   e

           r   v   e   r   .   l   a   n   d   i   n   g   u   r   i   }

The APM parser does not give much error messages, but refuses to accept the entry. Try to type the expression by hand instead of copy-pasting from the source web site. Also note that the quotation marks around should be straight ( "username" ), not curved ( “username=” ).
