We have a requirement, where we have to check the titles and footnotes of an rtf file for mistakes. We have a lot of files, checking visually  a tiresome job.  Is there any way we can extract titles and footnotes from the file and compare with out title and footnotes.  I found an article about it but having the difficulty with  DDE sessions. Is there any alternative. I am providing the link to my another question with SAS code  where I tried to achieve this. Your inputs are greatly appreciated. I am also attaching a template of rtf file.

RTF files are TEXT files. Read them with a data step and extract whatever you want.

Why did you attach a DOCX file?  That is not an RTF file.

Thanks for your suggestion. My apologies, I uploaded the wrong extension file by mistake. I uploaded the rtf file. Is it possible to give code extracting the title and footnotes? i
