Hi

I seem to remember having a problem like this to - try taking off the first and
last character of junk and see what happens

eg

 found = 0
 for loop = 1 to length(urllist) do
   if match(junk[2..length(junk)-1,urllist[loop]) then
      found = 1
      exit
    end if
  end for
  if not found then
    urllist = urllist & {junk}
   end if

assuming that hunk is a full url, or the match isn't THAT critical
