Converting chat to URL efficiently.

MegaScientifical:
I was trying to make a script that would convert text from chat to URL, but I've hit snags. One snag is that characters such as ":" "<" and ">" break the URL and make it look uglier. Another is that I must account for the fact each message can only contain two URLs.

I find it hard to figure out a simple method to achieve this and am hoping someone here may help. Here's what I've tried to compose, but I became lost:

--- Code: ---function urlChat(%t) {
%output = "http://";
for(%i = 0; %i <= getWordCount(%t); %i++) {
%w = getWord(%t, %i);
if(strStr(%w, ":") > -1)
%output = %output @ " " @ %w @ " http://";
else
%output = %output @ "_" @ %w @ " ";
}
}
--- End code ---

Chrono:
Why not just chat normally?

Wow. You have the most convoluted thought process I've ever seen.

I know, that's why I came here. I don't get what the forget I'm doing. The only reason I'd even bring up such a useless script here is because the process to make it is somehow confusing me so much.

Chrono:
Whatever you learn from this will very unlikely be used for anything useful.
