What is a .ERB file?
An .ERB file is a type of computer file used by a program called Evil Genius. It's a special kind of file that is made using a computer language called ERB, which is part of the Ruby programming language. Think of it like a recipe that tells your computer how to mix together plain text (like the words you're reading now) and special Ruby code to make a new document or file. This is done with something called the ERB template engine, which is like a chef that knows how to follow the recipe.
You can open and look at an .ERB file using simple programs that let you view or edit text. These programs include Microsoft Notepad, which comes with Windows, and Apple TextEdit, which comes with macOS. There are also other programs like Panic Coda 2 that can open these files, especially if you're working on coding or web development projects.
If you're using a special program called Braille Music Reader, which is for creating music scores in Braille, you should know that you can't make these scores directly from an .ERB file. Instead, you need a file that ends in .BMML. However, once you have a .BMML file open in Braille Music Reader, you can save your work as an .ERB file by going to the "File" menu, choosing "Save" or "Save As...," naming your file, and then clicking "Save." To open an .ERB file in Braille Music Reader, you just go to "File" → "Open," find your .ERB file where you've saved it, and click "Open." This lets you work with or view the file in the Braille Music Reader program.
