Any half-way decent programmer should be able to write a simple program to strip out the control characters, leaving just the text (but minus any formatting, such as bold and underscores).
But Harry T has given you a much better solution.

There used to be an MSDOS program that did just that, and outputted a text file. I'm afraid I don't remember the name of it though.
