Hi there,

A while back I wrote a detex program which seems to work.
It is not very polished however, as you will find out.
I use it mainly to count words in files. So here is the source,
written in C (at which I am a novice).

/* This program reads a file from the standard input, and send
a detexed version to the standard output.
In this version equations are left out. */
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
	int c;
	while((c=getchar()) != EOF) {
		if(c == '\\') /* Ignore TeX commands */
			while(((c=getchar()) != ' ') && (c != '\n'))
				;
		if(c == '%') { /* Ignore TeX comments */
			while(((c=getchar()) != '\n'))
				;
		}
		if(c == '$') { /* Ignore TeX equations */
			if((c=getchar()) == '$')
				;
			while((c=getchar()) != '$')
				;
			if((c=getchar()) == '$')
				c = getchar();
		}
		if(c == '{' || c == '}') continue; /* Ignore curly brackets */
		putchar(c);
	}
}
