This suggests that you expect ...

>.long   \from
>.if     \to-\from
>example     "(\from+1)",\to

... the parenthesized expression here to be evaluated, which isn't the
case. I think you can do this only with alternative macro syntax.

As a general hint: Command line option -alm is your friend when
analyzing problems with macro expansion.
