To keep it simple:

Find what: .* (http://.*?) .*

Replace with: \1

Also if you have access to MS Word switch to a fixed font like courier new or console (lines things up better) Then hold Alt+Shift and click and drag like you would to highlight something on the desktop. Works nicely for smaller lists.

I would assume the list is quite large and the OP wants it to be done programmatically. This is a programming forum after all.
