Not exactly a script, but I highly recommend Pandoc[1]. There is also
pandoc-mode[2], which is an Emacs frontend to Pandoc.

This works like a charm, thank you

Hi there,

Does anybody has a script that convert latex files to org mode ?

I wrote one in Matlab, but it is a little clunky - I wrote it in matlab
because I am still learning lisp

thanks
M

I always thought that TeX/LaTeX would be the perfect engine for that.  It
already understands the markup.  ``Only'' the output format would need to be
written.

Maybe with LuaTeX such a task can be made easier.   

Disclamer: I've never done any deep TeX/LaTeX/Lua coding.
