RTFLex is a simple lexer / tokenizer for RTF formatted data.

Example Usage
-------------

[](#example-usage)

RTFLex allows you to easily extract plain text from an RTF formatted file. Here how you would do that:

```
require_once "rtflex/RTFLexer.php";

use RTFLex\io\StreamReader;
use RTFLex\tokenizer\RTFTokenizer;
use RTFLex\tree\RTFDocument;

$reader = new StreamReader('/path/to/myFile.rtf');
$tokenizer = new RTFTokenizer($reader);
$doc = new RTFDocument($tokenizer);
echo $doc->extractText();

```

While RTFLex uses namespaces to organize it's inner-workings, it also provides a simple, global, front-end class for easy of use. This accomplishes the same as the above code:

```
require_once "rtflex/RTFLexer.php";

$doc = RTFLexer::file('/path/to/myFile.rtf');
echo $doc->extractText();

```

RTFLex also lets you easily extract hidden metadata from an RTF file. Take, for example, the follow RTF header:

```
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\cocoartf1187\cocoasubrtf370
{\fonttbl\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Helvetica;}
{\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;}
{\info
{\title Sample Title}
{\subject Sample Subject}
{\author Craig Weber}
{\*\company silvermine}
{\*\copyright 2013 silvermine.}}\margl1440\margr1440\vieww10800\viewh8400\viewkind0

...

```

Using the RTFDocument class, it's easy to extract those field.

```
$doc = RTFLexer::file('/path/to/myFile.rtf');
echo $doc->extractMetadata('title');     // => "Sample Title"
echo $doc->extractMetadata('copyright'); // => "2013 silvermine."

```
