RTF to Plain Text in Java

Question

How do you convert an RTF string to plain text in Java? The obvious answer is to use Swing\'s RTFEditorKit, and that seems to be the common answer around the Internet. How

Answer 1

Here is the full code to parse & write RTF as a plain text

    import java.io.FileInputStream;
    import java.io.FileWriter;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.InputStreamReader;
    import javax.swing.text.BadLocationException;
    import javax.swing.text.Document;
    import javax.swing.text.rtf.RTFEditorKit;

    public class rtfToJson {
    public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException, BadLocationException {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    RTFEditorKit rtf = new RTFEditorKit();
    Document doc = rtf.createDefaultDocument();

    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("C:\\SampleINCData.rtf");
    InputStreamReader i =new InputStreamReader(fis,"UTF-8");
    rtf.read(i,doc,0);
   // System.out.println(doc.getText(0,doc.getLength()));
    String doc1 = doc.getText(0,doc.getLength());


    try{    
           FileWriter fw=new FileWriter("B:\\Sample INC Data.txt");    
           fw.write(doc1);    
           fw.close();    
          }catch(Exception e)
    {
              System.out.println(e);
              }    
          System.out.println("Success...");    
     }    

    }
