Is there a way to read a file from .dot net and just get the text?

I have about 300 documents that need to be added to our database and web
page. I need to get the 1st readable line to use as a title or subject.
The problem is that .doc files have unreadable formatting characters in
them. I would like to do a type of readline and get just the text.

Is this possible in .net?

Thanks,

Tom.
 
It would probably be faster to create a batch file that opens each .doc file
and saves it as plain text.

After that, you could read in the .txt file.
