How could I change a list of URLs to HTML links?

I have a list of URLs that I'd like to convert into HTML.

Here's an example:

http://blah.com
https://abc.com
http://123.com

to

<a href="http://blah.com">http://blah.com</a>
<a href="https://abc.com">https://abc.com</a>
<a href="http://123.com">http://123.com</a>

I know that I can use an online converter, but I also want to learn how to make the most out of Notepad++ and Sublime Text. I'm not even sure if I can do that or if there's an easier way (without using a converter).

Also, any easy to learn regex resources? I've checked out RegexPal and RegExr but didn't find them helpful.

Thank you.

search -> replace

replace: (https?://\S*) with: <a href="\1">\1</a>

search method: regexp
