Find a line containing a string.
Hello. I have a large file that contains a lot of gibberish and also a lot of http addresses. How can i read the file, take out the http addresses, and write each one of them on one line each into another file?

It looks something like this.

gibberishgibberishgibberishgibberishgibberish"http://yadayada.com"gibberishgibberishgibberishgibberish"http://yadayada2.com"gibberishgibberish

I just want to know how to extract the http addresses from the file, and write them to another file.

Any programming language is fine. I just want to know how to do this.

Thanks in advance.
