Does anyone have some sort of script/program/filter/method that
converts a TeX text file into a normal text file, with no TeX formatting
commands present? I am a TeX know-nothing, so if this is an easy sort

Example. Here's some TeX input:
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5} %personal preference
\setcounter{tocdepth}{5} %personal preference
