Posts: 41                Hi - I would like to read an rtfd file line by line, 
discard the format information and retrieve just the text as a text string. 
Could anyone suggest the most appropriate way to do this?  Many thanks

my understanding is that this format doesn't contain individual "lines"  that 
the encoded text has embedded coded similar to the Unix "\n" and the HTML 
"<br>".

So would either need to read the data as a "chunk" or character by character, 
and decipher the formatting information as you went.

I know this is what I had to do with RTF data for a VB program I wrote a few 
years back.
