I was wondering if anybody could point me towards a fast, simple and
free method to sort thru several large text files and gather all the
URLs in them. They are older IRC logs, and i'd really like to be able
to check out some of them, however manually sorting thru 1000
individual logs that are over 200mbs combined is abit too much to do
by hand.
So I was wondering if anybody could point me towards an more automated
way of doing this?
Thank you

Features: Quick overview
Features are legion. The program performs a relatively simple task,
but it aims to do it well, which includes flexibility. Here are some of the
highlights.
a.. URLs may be added one or several at a time, from clipboard or
maually.
b.. Automatic, configurable, semi-intelligent scanning for URL
descriptions when adding URLs from clipboard or importing from files.
c.. Configurable HTML output: you may choose how the list of
collected URLs is presented in your browser.
d.. Clipboard monitoring for automatic collection of URLs
(just copy the URL to clipboard and Visit will add it to its list).
e.. User-configurable list of URL schemes ('ftp://', '
http://', etc)
to watch for. Ability to extend the default list of schemes.
f.. Configurable import of URLs from plain text files, HTML
documents and Internet Explorer "Favorites" (i.e. Internet Shortcuts). For
instance, you may choose to only import mailto links, only links to '.zip'
files, or only URLs beginning with '
http://' - or any combination thereof.
The 'Import' feature itself is the most powerful I've seen in applications
of this type.
g.. URLs may be copied to clipboard in several ways: for instance,
you may simply copy the Internet address, or you may copy the URL and its
associated desciption as HTML code, ready to be pasted into a Web document
you are creating.
h.. 'Find' feature (search for text in URLs or URL descriptions).
i.. Option to live in system tray.
j.. Export URLs to a plain text file, as Explorer's 'favorites', to
a delimited file (*.CSV) or to Netscape Navigator's bookmarks.
k.. All functions available from keyboard.
l.. Configurable fonts and colors; configurable default actions (for
instance, you may choose what action the program will perform when you click
the tray icon). One-click or single-keypress operation for all frequently
used features.
m.. URLs may be sorted by net address, by description or by date
added.
n.. A user-defined template file may be used to format the HTML
output.
o.. Configurable activation hotkey to bring the program window to
front after it was minimized to the system tray
p.. Automatic installer and uninstaller
