I have tried the following code with "IfInString" function but failed. In the code, I want to find out if the %Words% is an url.
Code:
IfInString, %Words%, http://
{
    ...
}


But if %Words% is an url, eg., http://www.google.com
The error is: This variable or function name contains an illegal character. The current thread will exit.

Any suggestion? Do you have any good idea to identify the url? Please share with me.

I have an script that has to check whether or not copied text is an URL. I use the following code and it works fine

Code:
Loop, Parse, Words, /
IfInString, A_LoopField, http:
 {
   ; Do Something here
 }
Else
 {
   ; Do something else here
 }



Try it and let me know if it worked

Tried and tested example:
Code:
links = http`://www.google.com|msn.com|http://www.yahoo.com|www.autohotkey.com
Loop, Parse, links, |
   if A_LoopField contains http://
      MsgBox, %A_LoopField%`nThe above contains the http:// prefix.
   else
      MsgBox, %A_LoopField%`nThe above does NOT contain the http:// prefix.


There seems to be something with "if Var contains MatchList" working where "IfInString" doesn't which I couldn't identify, bug?

If you can ever nail it down, please let me know (though I'd be somewhat surprised if there were any bugs in IfInString due to its simplicity and long testing history).
