How to open RDOC file?
The most common problem when using RubyDoc Script is that a specific RDOC is not associated with the program. This causes the file RDOC 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 RDOC 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 RubyDoc
The first step is to check if the computer has the RubyDoc program installed. To do this, enter the name RubyDoc into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file RDOC.
Programs to open RDOC file
Remember to download programs supporting RDOC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RubyDoc with RDOC files
If, despite the installed application, the RDOC file does not start in the RubyDoc application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RDOC file with the RubyDoc program.
Step 3. Update RubyDoc to the latest version
If, however, after binding RubyDoc with RubyDoc Script there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the James Britt page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RDOC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the RDOC file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RDOC or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RDOC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of RDOC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RDOC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting James Britt, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RDOC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the RDOC file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RDOC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RDOC file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
