I apologise if this is off topic - but I do want this to run on DU3.2g
Is there a program that will take a rtf doc with (simple) tables and
translate it into plain text - with the table created as ascii art
eg
---------------------------------------
| cell one | text in cell 2 |
---------------------------------------
| text | more text |
---------------------------------------
We have a database application that has a feature built in that throws
(FTPs) a file to a PC to be edited in word - then back to the alpha when
saved (don't ask me how???). The file is sent back as rtf - but when it
comes to displaying on terminal screens our vendor simply strips out the
rtf & displays it as a simply formatted document - but it doesn't handel
tables.
It would help me to encourage them to develop this feature if I could
point them to a program that does just that
TIA
