Recently I received network details from someone in an RTF file. On my laptop I didn’t have an editor for RTF files. After searching for ‘rtf’ through apt I found this awesome utility that I though was simple and useful “unrtf”.

Installation

Install using apt.

sudo apt install unrtf

Usage

For my purpose I needed to convert to txt format so I used the following.

unrtf --text filename.rtf > filename.txt

There are other format for output supported as well

• html
• vt
• latex
