Open URLs in different browsers

global AssocArray := {}
Array := []
Loop, Read, links.txt
    Array.Push(StrSplit(A_LoopReadLine, ";"))
for index, element in Array {
    Browser := Func("Launch").Bind("chrome.exe --options ", "firefox.exe -options ")
    Menu, MyMenu, Add, % element.2, % Browser
    AssocArray[element.2] := element.3
}
Menu, MyMenu, Show

Launch(BrowserPC1, BrowserPC2, ItemName, ItemPos) {
    Browser := A_ComputerName = PC1 ? %BrowserPC1% : %BrowserPC2%
    Run, % Browser AssocArray[ItemName]
    return
}

Format of links.txt:
;Arrays;https://autohotkey.com/docs/Arrays

How can I use a different browser in Launch depending on whether I am using PC1 or PC2, and which browsers I specify for different menus (which is why I have not simply specified them in Launch)? I am getting an illegal character error because of (I assume) the dashes.

The mistake is here:

Browser := A_ComputerName = PC1 ? %BrowserPC1% : %BrowserPC2%

You're trying to use dynamic variables.
When in an expression statement, you don't refer to variables via the legacy AHK way of wrapping them in %s. You just simply type their name, like so:

Browser := A_ComputerName = PC1 ? BrowserPC1 : BrowserPC2

Another thing. Where is the variable PC1 supposed to be defined?
Did you maybe mean to use it as a literal string ("PC1")?
