What is RB file?
The RB file extension is a file used in programs associated with the .RB language. RB stands for Ruby, which is an open-source programming language that was created by Yukihiro Matsumoto in the mid-1990s. It is designed to be easy to use and read. It is popularly used for web development, system administration and scripting, and game development. RB files are source code that can be written in a text editor and executed by the interpreter of Ruby. [ ⏩ ] RB file extension

How to convert the file from RB to EPUB?
To successfully convert the RB file to EPUB, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.RB). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case EPUB (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than EPUB).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. RB to EPUB. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting RB files to EPUB files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension EPUB, while before this step we had the RB file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new EPUB file, or not.
