There are a couple of utility programs  (dtex, detex, and delatex) that you can get off the net that do what you want.  Unfortunately I don't think any of them come pre-built with modern latex distros.

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to export all the text from my .tex files, or
just one -
(actually I want to use it to create tagcrowds of my work >> http://
www.tagcrowd.com/ - to give it a try and for some designing touches)

I wonder if there is some way to do this, something like picking all
content that fits a certain scope like "string" - or something and
export it into a pure plaintext file.

I agree this feature would probably not be able to export \footnote's
and \marginnote's but anyway -
Do you have any idea if there already is something like this - or if
it is possible at all?

Thanks a lot - and enough for today
flo
