在RTF中，{和}标记一个组。组可以嵌套。 \标记控制字的开头。控制字以空格或非字母字符结尾。一个控制字可以有一个数字参数，其间没有任何分隔符。一些控制字也采用以';'分隔的文本参数。这些控制字通常在他们自己的组中。
我想我已经设法制作了一种照顾大多数情况的模式。
\{\*?\\[^{}]+}|[{}]|\\\n?[A-Za-z]+\n?(?:-?\d+)?[ ]?
虽然在模式上运行时会留下几个空格。
走向低谷的RTF specification（有些），我看到有纯基于正则表达式脱衣舞很多陷阱。最明显的是应该忽略一些组（页眉，页脚等），而其他组应该被渲染（格式化）。
我写了一个Python脚本，应该工作比我的正则表达式以上更好：
def striprtf(text):
pattern = re.compile(r"\\([a-z]{1,32})(-?\d{1,10})?[ ]?|\\'([0-9a-f]{2})|\\([^a-z])|([{}])|[\r\n]+|(.)", re.I)
# control words which specify a "destionation".
destinations = frozenset((

它的工作原理解析RTF代码，并跳过其中有一个“目的地”的任何组指定的，和所有的“可忽略“组（{\* ... }）。我还添加了一些特殊字符的处理。
有很多功能缺少使这个完整的解析器，但应该足够简单的文件。
更新：这个网址有此脚本更新到Python的3.x运行：

不错的答案。 \〜是非破坏性的空间，所以不应该char =='〜'追加u'\ u00a0？ – 2011-12-24 23:53:45
确实。更新。谢谢。 – 2011-12-25 10:49:31
