Is it a bug?

[oldbrother]

IfInstring cannot take "||" or "`|`|" as a parameter.
But InStr() can use it.

Test code:

Code: Select all

MyString=AAA,BBB,||,|CCC||,DDD

Loop Parse, MyString, `,
  IfInString,%A_LoopField%,||
  ;if InStr(A_LoopField,"||")
    Msgbox Found!  

Thanks!

2. No, its not a bug. You're not using IfInString correctly. See the help page:
