How to convert an rtf string to text in C#
Is there an easy way to extract text from an Rtf string without using RichTextBox?
Example:
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\uc1\htmautsp\deff2{\fonttbl{\f0\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}{\f2\fcharset0 Segoe UI;}}{\colortbl\red0\green0\blue0;\red255\green255\blue255;}\loch\hich\dbch\pard\plain\ltrpar\itap0{\lang1033\fs18\f2\cf0 \cf0\ql{\f2 {\lang2070\ltrch foo}\li0\ri0\sa0\sb0\fi0\ql\par}
{\f2 {\lang2070\ltrch bar }\li0\ri0\sa0\sb0\fi0\ql\par}
}
}
should r开发者_JS百科eturn:
foo
bar

This guy wrote a class that strips RTF to plain text just as OP requested. Here is the source

There's a simple article on MSDN to achieve what you want: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc488002.aspx
class ConvertFromRTF
{
static void Main()
{
string path = @"test.rtf";
//Create the RichTextBox. (Requires a reference to System.Windows.Forms.dll.)
System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox rtBox = new System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox();
// Get the contents of the RTF file. Note that when it is
// stored in the string, it is encoded as UTF-16.
string s = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(path);
// Display the RTF text.
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(s);
// Convert the RTF to plain text.
rtBox.Rtf = s;
string plainText = rtBox.Text;
// Display plain text output in MessageBox because console
// cannot display Greek letters.
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(plainText);
// Output plain text to file, encoded as UTF-8.
System.IO.File.WriteAllText(@"output.txt", plainText);
}
}
Can't agree with using RichTextBox or any other controls in such kind of tasks. Here is another one approach:
public string RtfToPlainText(string rtf)
{
var flowDocument = new FlowDocument();
var textRange = new TextRange(flowDocument.ContentStart, flowDocument.ContentEnd);
using (var stream = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(rtf ?? string.Empty)))
{
textRange.Load(stream, DataFormats.Rtf);
}
return textRange.Text;
}
