File extension .RHISTORY
Full Name | Developer | Category |

R History Format | The R Project for Statistical Computing | Data Files |
The R History file extension is associated with the R programming language, a powerful statistical computing and graphical analysis environment. It is a plain text file that stores a user's command history for the R software. The file stores commands issued within all projects that used the R software, along with other data such as notifications and errors.
Functionality
A single command is written to the R History file per line along with the timestamp of when that command was issued. This information can be used to keep track of commands in settings where more than one user interacts with the same instance of R. For instance, if two people work on the same project in an office or shared workstation, each of them will have separate R History files for each session.
Similar File Extensions
Other similar file extensions are: .rdata, .rda, .Rhistory, .RDX, and .RDS

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .RHISTORY) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .RHISTORY extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .RHISTORY file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .RHISTORY extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .RHISTORY extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .RHISTORY file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .RHISTORY file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .RHISTORY file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .RHISTORY file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .RHISTORY file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
