Not all applications that create RTF files store the number of pages in the document metadata. But if the RTF you are working with was created in Microsoft Word, that information is available as metadata in the RTF file and you can extract it like this:

data rtfinfo;
   Length Author $50 Pages Words 8;
   if _n_=1 then do;
      rxAuthor=prxparse('!\\author\s?([^}]*)}!');
      rxDate=prxparse('!\\creatim\s?\\yr(\d*)\\mo(\d*)\\dy(\d*)!');
      rxPages=prxparse('!\\nofpages\s?(\d*)}!');
      rxWords=prxparse('!\\nofwords\s*(\d*)}!');
   end;
   retain rx:;
   drop rx:;
   infile 'C:\temp\myrtf.rtf' end=eof;
   do until (eof);
      input;
      if prxmatch(rxAuthor,_infile_) then do;
         Author=prxposn(rxAuthor,1,_infile_);
         put Author=;
      end;
      if prxmatch(rxPages,_infile_) then do;
         Pages=input(prxposn(rxPages,1,_infile_),32.);
         put Pages=;
      end;
      if prxmatch(rxWords,_infile_) then do;
         Words=input(prxposn(rxWords,1,_infile_),32.);
         put Words=;
      end;
      if sum(missing(Author),missing(Pages),missing(Words))=0 then do;
         output;
         stop;
      end;
   end;
run;

This code produces an output that looks like this:

Obs	Author	Pages	Words
1	Mark Jordan	4	16

I have a text in one RTF file so I have to read that text into sas and
create one dataset

text ---> This is awesome

RTF is a format designed to present information best formatted for human consumption and is not well suited for machine-reading. Significant SAS programming and a good knowledge of RTF structure are required to extract data from an RTF. Here are some good references to get you started:
