Presumably, you're opening a CSV file in Excel? Is this a one-time project or on-going? Do you have any control over the format of the source file? If yes, then you could encapsulate the URL within double-quotes:
The double-quotes would cause Excel to ignore the comma in the URL.
If you don't have control over the source file, you would need to either A) modify the source file, either manually in a text editor or via batch, or B) modify the spreadsheet post-import.
If the data is being imported beginning in Column A, you may bea able to use this formula in Column F, then copy down as far as needed:
=D1&E1
This does mean you'll end up with a couple of redundant columns (D&E). You could copy/past special>values in Column F, then delete Column D & E if necessary. This process would likely not be suitable if this is an on-going process.

1. Its a report that i cannot change
2. I cannot use the formula because when i delimit the content gets overwritten
Its a regular i mean daily requirement
jsdray
but you could use a macro to do as mark suggested... If you're interested in going that route I can post the VB code...
1. What is the native format of the report file?
2. What steps do you take to open the file in Excel?
3. What part/parts of your current process are automate? (I presume the report file is automically generated daily?)
4. What do you do with the Excel file once in the proper format?
5. How many lines is the typical report file?
