Remove All Clickable links from RTF doc

[Potts Jeff]

I'm working with RTF files that come populated with embedded URLs. I would like to remove the entire link, including the text included in the link. This is a small example of the text.

Page 2:

As problematic as this self-imposed restriction may be – the relationship between one’s age and music consumption preferences arguably being more corollary than causal

I was trying to accomplish by REGEX, but can’t find a workable solution or pattern. I do not know enough about exposing the rtf codes to craft a proper solution.

What is the best way to remove all links in an RTF document?

Regex is useful when trying to match text, but not attributes.

For Attribute matching, you'll want to use "If Has Attribute" or (if attribute is related to font), "If Matches Font".

Thanks for the tip, I never noticed those options. I must have just skipped right by them while thinking of different words for my solution. Works perfectly.
