In the subject the code of my dreams.

This topic has been coered in many other posts, like (http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=90034) where a almost working function was there (there are too many cases in which that function fails).

Is there something new? I mean is it possible to have the "final" function tht uses the full RTF specification or does Microsoft introuced any new thing in SQL Server 2008 to perform what I think everyone need?

I mean:

TABLE1 has a varchar(max) field containing RTF (I call this field RTFFIELD)

Why SQL SERVER doesn't have a *obvious* feature like

SELECT RTFTOTEXT(RTFFIELD) FROM TABLE1

???

Moving this to a different forum since it isn't appropriate for the Script Library forum.
