I want to split a RTF file (with C# or VB.Net) in 2 ore

  • 0

I want to split a RTF file (with C# or VB.Net) in 2 ore more parts by the string [BreakPage]. I have for exemple this file, containing a [BreakPage], which needs to be split in 2 parts:

    The problem is that RTF has some (but not necessarily all) formatting information in a global header. In order to split the RTF text so that the results are again valid RTF with formatting applied you essentially need to know where the header information is, and replicate it across a splits.

    There are two ways of doing this:

    1. Write an RTF parser
    2. Use an existing RTF parser

    (1) is doable, but will take time. Luckily, RTF parsers already exist, for example this one on CodeProject.

    Alternatively, you can also load the RTF text into a RichTextBox, then search for the split text "[BreakPage]" inside the RichTextBox, programmatically select the first and second part and retrieve the RTF text using the SelectedRtf property.
