Need to parse RTF and HTML using as little overhead as possible. Haven't had to do this in years and cannot recall.

Any functions out there to do this without automation or loading any objects into memory:

lortf=CREATEOBJECT("richtext.richtextctrl")
lortf.TextRTF = m.myRTFtextdata
m.lcPlainText = lortf.Text
?m.lcPlainText

and the same for IE to parse HTML. If not, is there anyway to pass a variable or variable contents to IE.Navigate intead of URL or file name?

loIE   = CREATEOBJECT("InternetExplorer.Application")
loIE.Navigate(m.myHTMLText)
DO WHILE loIE.Busy OR loIE.ReadyState <> 4
	DOEVENTS
ENDDO
m.PlainText2 = loIE.Document.documentElement.innertext
?m.PlainText2
