Extract text from SAS Enterprise Guide projects (EGP)
To convert EGP projects to another format, you need SAS Enterprise Guide or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Data Analysis Project File" file type, you need software like SAS Enterprise Guide or a similar tool.
An .EGP file is primarily a SAS Enterprise Guide Project file created by SAS Institute. It acts as a digital workspace, storing data analysis workflows, raw SAS code, data connections, and report layouts. In less common cases, it can also function as a gradebook file for the discontinued Easy Grade Pro software, an El-Ameen Accounting System data file, or a game effect property file from ALT1 Games.
Working with .EGP files can be highly frustrating. The format is strictly proprietary, meaning it requires a costly enterprise license and access to SAS Enterprise Guide or a SAS server to execute or view the data properly. When non-technical users receive an .EGP file, they are usually locked out. They cannot open the file in web browsers, standard office suites, or basic data viewers.
Ideally, users want to convert the embedded contents of an .EGP file to more accessible formats. Extracted tables are best saved as CSV or XLSX, code should be saved as standard SAS or TXT files, and final visual reports are best distributed as PDF documents. However, this is rarely straightforward.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert because it is not a flat data table; it is a complex container. Standard online converters fail to process it because they cannot parse the proprietary XML schema linking the project nodes together. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. Because modern SAS .EGP files are structurally ZIP archives, if our analysis detects this supported underlying embedded format, viewing or extracting the internal code and XML files may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EGP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted EPG, EPS, JPG, PDF, ZIP, PRC, XP3, IFM, SAR and KWD files.
If you want to convert EGP file to SAR, KWD, CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF or DAT, you can use SAS Enterprise Guide or similar software from the "Data Science Project Archive" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to EGP, try SAS Enterprise Guide or another comparable tool in the "Data Science Project Archive" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our EGP converter.
