use striprtf

[chennesy]

Need to update to be platform agnostic using striprtf. Differences in how whitespace and line breaks are rendered in textutil and striprtf make it a non-trivial update.

Hi @chennesy,

Appreciate your input. I've transformed all the .rtf files to .txt format utilizing striprtf. Afterward, I attempted to use the factiva_parser script you provided. However, I ended up with NaN across all rows. Any insights into what might be causing this?

Thank you in advance,

Thanks @firminayivodji. I haven't worked on this enhancement yet so the code doesn't work with txt files generated by striprtf at the moment. Unfortunately, striprtf and textutil introduce different characters in the txt files, so the parser currently only works for txt files generated via textutil.
