NAME

RTF::TEXT::Converter - Perl extension for converting RTF into text


DESCRIPTION

Perl extension for converting RTF into text


SYNOPSIS

        use strict;
        use RTF::TEXT::Converter;

        my $object = RTF::TEXT::Converter->new(

                output => \*STDOUT

        );
        $object->parse_stream( \*RTF_FILE );

OR
        use strict;
        use RTF::TEXT::Converter;

        my $object = RTF::TEXT::Converter->new(

                output => \$string

        );
        $object->parse_string( $rtf_data );


METHODS

new()

Constructor method. Currently takes one named parameter, output, which can either be a reference to a filehandle, or a reference to a string. This is where our text output will end up.

parse_stream()

Read RTF in from a filehandle, and start processing it. Pass me a reference to a filehandle.

parse_string()

Read RTF in from a string, and start processing it. Pass me a string.


JUST SO YOU KNOW

You can mix-and-match your output and input methods - nothing to stop you outputting to a string when you've read from a filehandle...
