Hi, Is there a way which enable to import a text file containing rtf tags and show it without those tags ? For example, here is a snippet for illustration: requiring, high, dose, IMMUNOSUPPRESSION\par, \pard\fi-1440\li1440\tx719\t\ x1440\tx2160\tx2880\tx3600\tx4320\tx5040\tx5760\tx6480\tx7200\tx7920\tx8 640\t\ x9360, \tab, \tab, -, NECROTIZING, BRONCHOPNEUMONIA, and, BRONCHITIS,, \ bilateral\par, \pard\fi-2160\li2160\tx719\tx1440\tx2160\tx2880\tx3600\tx4320\t\ x5040\tx5760\tx6480\tx7200\tx7920\tx8640\tx9360, \tab, \tab, \tab, -, Tissue, \ cultures, positive, for, PSEUDOMONAS, AERUGINOSA\par, \pard\fi-1440\li1440\t\ x719\tx1440\tx2160\tx2880\tx3600\tx4320\tx5040\tx5760\tx6480\tx7200\tx79 20\t\ x8640\tx9360, \tab, \tab, -, PROSTATIC, ABSCESS\par, \tab, -Residual, \ MALIGNANT, LYMPHOMA,, leptomeninges,, hypothalamus,, hippocampus\par, \pard\t\ x719\tx1440\tx2160\tx2880\tx3600\tx4320\tx5040\tx5760\tx6480\tx7200\tx79 20\t\ x8640\tx9360\tx10080, -, BIVENTRICULAR, HYPERTROPHY,, HEART, (weight:, 550, \ grams;, left, ventricular, free, wall:, 1.6cm;, right, ventricular, wall:, \ 0.8cm)\par, \pard\fi-720\li720\tx719\tx720\tx1440\tx2160\tx2880\tx3600\tx4320\ \tx5040\tx5760\tx6480\tx7200\tx7920\tx8640, \tab, -, Hepatosplenomegaly, \ (liver, weight:, 2080, grams,, spleen, weight:, 450, grams)\par, \tab, -, \ Mild, arteriolonephrosclerosis,, bilateral, kidney\par, \par, CAUSE, OF, \ DEATH:\par, \pard\tx719\tx1440\tx2160\tx2880\tx3600\tx4320\tx5040\tx5760\t\ x6480\tx7200\tx7920\tx8640\tx9360\tx10080, \tab, I would like to see only: requiring, high, dose, IMMUNOSUPPRESSION -, NECROTIZING, BRONCHOPNEUMONIA, and, BRONCHITIS -, Tissue, cultures, positive, for, PSEUDOMONAS, AERUGINOSA -, PROSTATIC, ABSCESS -Residual, MALIGNANT, LYMPHOMA,, leptomeninges,, hypothalamus,, hippocampus -, BIVENTRICULAR, HYPERTROPHY,, HEART, (weight:, 550, grams;, left, ventricular, free, wall:, 1.6cm;, right, ventricular, wall:, 0.8cm) -, Hepatosplenomegaly, (liver, weight:, 2080, grams,, spleen, weight:, 450, grams) -, Mild, arteriolonephrosclerosis,, bilateral, kidney CAUSE, OF, DEATH: I looked and tried the options listed under Import, but with no success. The file itself has comas, semicolons,... in it, so if I Import it with Record or Word types, they break the rtf braces and I am not able to look for rtf tag patterns - with my newbie knowledge. I have about a thousand such files which need to lose their rtf tags or interpret them correctly and show the format accordingly. Any good tip ?
