Reading an RTF file in Java

Question

Hi,
Can someone tell me how can we read the data from an .rtf files like we do with text files in Java.
I have seen solutions using Swing rtfeditor etc.. But I just need to read the data, I do not want to open rtf page.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you are not to "read" but to obtain bytes then you can modify this:
//try{
  InputStream stream = new FileInputStream("cc.rtf");//file name is arbitrary
                                                                         //or BufferedInputStream can be used
   int n=0;
while((n=stream.read())!=-1){
            System.out.print(Integer.toString(n));
            System.out.print(" ");
    System.out.println();
   if(stream!=null) stream.close();
//   catch(IOException ioe){
//       throw ioe;
//  }
