The HRL file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the HRL files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the HRL file on each system platform.
What is HRL file?
The file in the HRL format belongs to the Developer Files category. The creator of this file is Ericsson. In addition to this file, the Developer Files category includes 1205 related files. Erlang Header Format is supported by 2 operating systems. These systems consist of Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use TextMate to handle this file. This is a program created by MacroMates Ltd.. There are also 4 alternative programs to handle the HRL file. The Text editor, Erlang, Windows Notepad programs will also handle the file when the TextMate program does not fulfill its role.
How to open HRL file?
The most common problem when using Erlang Header Format is that a specific HRL is not associated with the program. This causes the file HRL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HRL file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install TextMate
In this case, you should first verify that the TextMate application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name TextMate into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HRL files.
Programs to open HRL file
Remember to download programs supporting HRL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TextMate with HRL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HRL file to open in the TextMate application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HRL file with the TextMate program.
Step 3. Update TextMate to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TextMate program, it is possible that Erlang Header Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the MacroMates Ltd. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HRL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HRL file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HRL or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HRL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of HRL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HRL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Ericsson
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HRL files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move HRL to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HRL to close. However, some background programs may block the HRL file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
