(module for) RTF parsing ?

[TDJ]

I can find modules for making RTF files, but what if I want to go
the other way ?

I have a number of files (SMS messages) in a directory, which I
would like to convert to a database / table.

The message format per file is similar to:
(line feeds added for illustration.)

Anyone have hints at parsing that file ?

This *should* read an RTF file and "translate" it for you.
