As usual: via regex(es)
Google can find enough sites that list well formed regexes for such purposes.

the matches were making the results to disappear instead of preserving them for further report.

Which matches and with which regexes?

I think the workflow should be as follows:
1. with regexreplace find all the desired links and substitute them with "<startoflink>$1<endoflink>"
2. with regexreplace subtitute everything that matches "<endoflink>.*<startoflink>" with "\n\r"
2bis. with regexreplace delete "^.*<startoflink>"
2ter. with regexreplace delete "<endoflink>.*$"
3. then run a foreach loop to process every link
Not tested. Also you should set the option that makes the dot match newlines as well.

C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Application Data\Microsoft\Credentials\Local Links.txt
which have links pointing to several documents like
D:\Programs\GridinSoft Notepad\license.txt
among other guidance text
or simply
D:\Thread or D:\Documents\ (some have trailing "\", some do not).
the source for web links may be similar .txt or .html files. Sometimes they come between ( " ), ( ' ) or simply put as
http://www.xyplorer.com.
when I find a pattern which covers a situation it ignores the others. when it covers the result displays everything BUT the wanted links, ie, i end with a negative result.
