Extract text from Delphi project groups (GROUPPROJ)
To convert GROUPPROJ project groups to another format, you need RAD Studio or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Project Group File" file type, you need software like RAD Studio or a similar tool.
The .groupproj file is a Delphi Project Group File used primarily by RAD Studio. It functions as a master workspace file that links multiple Delphi (dproj) or C++Builder (.cbproj) projects together. Developers use it to compile multiple executable files or libraries in a specific order with a single click.
You can open these files using Delphi or C++Builder IDEs. Because the underlying structure is based on MSBuild, the file is essentially formatted as plain XML.
Users often face problems with this format because it is proprietary and relies heavily on local system file paths. The .groupproj file does not contain any actual source code. It only contains references to other files. If you move the file without the corresponding code repositories, it becomes useless. Furthermore, editing these projects requires a costly IDE subscription.
If you need to extract the structure without the IDE, the best conversion targets are XML or TXT. Converting to these formats allows you to read the build order and file dependencies without losing text data, though you lose the ability to compile the software.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because it is a highly specific developer configuration file rather than standard media or documentation. Standard online converters fail because they lack the compiler logic. Often only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your GROUPPROJ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert GROUPPROJ file to , you can use RAD Studio or similar software from the "Project Workspace Grouping" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to GROUPPROJ, try RAD Studio or another comparable tool in the "Project Workspace Grouping" 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 GROUPPROJ converter.
