How to read .rtf file and convert into python3 strings and can be stored in python3 list?

I am having a .rtf file and I want to read the file and store strings into list using python3 by using any package but it should be compatible with both Windows and Linux.

I have tried striprtf but read_rtf is not working.

from striprtf.striprtf import rtf_to_text
from striprtf.striprtf import read_rtf
rtf = read_rtf("file.rtf")
text = rtf_to_text(rtf)
print(text)

But in this code, the error is: cannot import name ‘read_rtf’

Please can anyone suggest any way to get strings from .rtf file in python3?

Answer

Have you tried this?

with open('yourfile.rtf', 'r') as file:
    text = file.read()
print(text)

For a super large file, try this:

with open("yourfile.rtf") as infile:
    for line in infile:
        do_something_with(line)
