Legal Description/RTF Format
I'm looking to add Legal Description data to one of the feeds we've built for integrating with our LOS, using the CommitmentLegal#Description field in pfm.Property. We need the data only and not the RTF formatting. Is there a "clean" source of this data elsewhere or are we going to have to parse out the RTF formatting bits from this field?

We do not have a built-in way of retrieving the undecorated text from an RTF box.

Understanding you don't have anything built in, do you have any suggestions on how we would go about extracting just the text from one of these fields?

Re: Legal Description/RTF Format
You could use WinForms rich text box to set the RTF text and extract the raw text like so, in C# (the 'rtf' variable is your raw rich text):
Code: Select all
using(RichTextBox rtb = new RichTextBox())
{
rtb.Rtf = rtf;
return rtb.Text;
}
