About RHISTORY files

The .rhistory file stores the raw command history of an interactive session in R, a prominent programming language for statistical computing and data science. It is generated automatically by the R console or integrated development environments (IDEs) like RStudio. A major disadvantage of the .rhistory format is that it acts as a sequential dump of every command typed during a session - including typos, aborted functions, and error-producing code. It is not a structured script, making it impractical to share with collaborators or use for reproducible research. To make the code usable, users must extract the valid commands and convert them into an R (R Script) file, or save the output as a TXT or MD (Markdown) file for documentation purposes. Because .rhistory is a specialized extension, standard online converters often fail to recognize its context and refuse to process it.

Convert.Guru analyzes your RHISTORY file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted R and RDATA files.
