Needs more logic if clipboard may not be text or shorter than 4 or not
lower case.
1. Place clipboard contents in a test variable AA1
2. Place first 4 of AA1 into AA2 set AA2=%AA1:~,4%
-----can combine 1 & 2 into one statement
3. IF %AA2%==http ....

Thanks. I can work with that. i was hoping there was some utility to bypass the intermediate variable,
but the more i thought about the more i realized that was the way to go.

I see the utility of the nirsoft commands and WRITEFILE return code should tell me if its text, if it
works like i think it should.....
