How can I remove the formatting from imported RTF (Rich Text Format) files?

Posted 11 years ago

Hi everyone,

How can I strip away the formatting and leave only the text when I import an RTF?

I've imported as

Import[myFile, "RTF"]

Hey Hans,

Thanks a load for this. Method 2 works the best and is flexible. The only formatting it leaves behind is the occasional bit of font information wrapping a table here and there. That' easy to get rid of.

Kind regards,

Gregory

Thank you, Tim,

I'll look into the stuff on rules. Haven't used that until now.
