About RBP files
The .RBP file type represents a legacy project created with REALbasic or Real Studio, the precursors to the modern cross-platform development tool Xojo. These files contain the source code, user interface designs (windows, menus), and build settings for desktop applications. While efficient in their time, .RBP files pose significant access challenges today. Many are stored in a proprietary binary format that makes them unreadable by standard text editors or version control systems. Furthermore, opening an older .RBP file in the current version of Xojo often results in compatibility errors due to deprecated controls, removed plugins, or syntax changes in the language over the last two decades. To salvage code or migrate logic, users should convert binary .RBP files to plain text or XML formats, allowing the code to be viewed, indexed, and ported to modern languages or newer .XOJO_PROJECT formats.
Convert.Guru analyzes your RBP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert RBP file to JS, TS, PY, JAVA, CPP, C, CS, PHP, RB, GO, RS or SWIFT, you can use Xojo or similar software from the "REALbasic Project Source Code" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SH, PY, KT, PS1, SWIFT, LUA, PL, JAVA, SCALA, JS, VBS or TS files to RBP, try Xojo or another comparable tool in the "REALbasic Project Source Code" category.
The RBP Converter Story
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 RBP converter.
