Extract text from REALbasic projects (RBP)
To convert RBP projects to another format, you need Xojo or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Project Source File" file type, you need software like Xojo or a similar tool.
The .RBP file is a proprietary REALbasic Project file used by older versions of Xojo (formerly known as REALbasic and Real Studio). It stores application source code, user interface layouts, form definitions, and project properties. Software developers use these files to build cross-platform desktop, web, and mobile applications.
The main disadvantage of the .RBP format is that it is highly proprietary and often saved as a compiled binary. Without installing a specific, often outdated version of Xojo, you cannot natively open, compile, or view the project structure. If the original developer did not export the project in a text or XML format, the source code remains locked inside the binary file, making version control and third-party editing impossible.
The best conversion targets for an .RBP file are the modern .XOJO_PROJECT or XML formats for continued development, or plain TXT to salvage the underlying source code. Because this is a closed developer format, standard online code converters fail to process it. Just drag and drop your file on convert.guru to see what it is and convert it if supported. Even if full translation to another programming language is impossible, we can extract human-readable text and inspect the file's internal structure to recover your data.
Convert.Guru analyzes your RBP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted RBVCP, RBW and RBO files.
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 "Application Source Code Storage" 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 "Application Source Code Storage" 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 RBP converter.
