Is that what you mean?

Except it appears that inconv doesn't support RTF :-(


I seem to have misinterpreted your original question.

You seem to want to extract the text from the rtf format file. Why don't you just open it with a wordprocessor like abiword or ooffice, and save it as text?

If you need a script/commandline method, then unrtf has been mentioned, which might do the job.

The iconv I mentioned was for converting the character set encoding -- evidently that's not what you want/need.
