You don't need cat for a single file!

perl -ne 'print "$1
" while (/href="(.+?)"/ig)' text.txt |
grep sourceforge | grep nvu


Or, by using perl in a single command,

perl -ne 'while (($m) = /href="(.+?)"/ig &&
$m =~ /sourceforge/ && $m =~ /nvu/) { print "$m
" }' text.txt

Although there are already given very nice perl solutions, with awk an answer
for what you asked for is

awk '{i = 0; while (i++ < NF) {if ($i ~ /downloads.sourceforge.net.*nvu/) print
$i}}' test-text.txt
