Parse plain text from rtf text in ruby

I have an rtf text shown like below,

{\rtf1\ansi\deff0 {\fonttbl {\f0 Courier;}}
{\colortbl;\red0\green0\blue0;\red255\green0\blue0;}
This line is the default color\line
\cf2
\tab This line is red and has a tab before it\line
\cf1
\page This line is the default color and the first line on page 2
}

I want to parse plain text from rtf text. Is there any plugins or any other solutions available in ruby, to parse plain text from rtf text?

You can use this Ruby-rtf Gem

require 'ruby-rtf'

data = File.read('./rich.rtf')
parser = RubyRTF::Parser.new
parsed_text = parser.parse(data).sections.map do |val|
  val[:text]
end.join(' ')
