Assuming your original target list is in a file called file_list:

sed 's,.*[^A-Za-z]\(.*\.jsp\).*,\1,' file_list > extracted_list

E.g.:

#cat file_list
"/path/to/file/abc.jsp";
some java declarative VARIABLE = "something.jsp";
* other/path/whatever.jsp
= "/path/to/file/other.jsp";
"/messy/path/abTestRest.jsp?metasomething=" +

#sed 's,.*[^A-Za-z]\(.*\.jsp\).*,\1,' < file_list
abc.jsp
something.jsp
whatever.jsp
other.jsp
abTestRest.jsp
