A little regex help?

Man I suck at regex.

How do I write a regex that matches http://att.com and http://www.att.com
but doesn't match http://matt.com or http://www.bratt.com?

I'm trying to create a whitelist but I keep ending up with sites I don't
want matching my criteria.

I just can't seem to get my head around it.

Any help would be appreciated.

I highly recommend the following app, it helped me a lot in allowing to
paste in text and then check regex expressions against the text quickly:
