A REP file may also be a report created by dBASE, an IDE with database management capabilities. It contains dBASE code (dBL) that defines the contents and formatting of a report, including the placement of objects, such as text fields, shapes, and images. dBASE users create reports to view data across various databases in a formatted print or screen (non-editable) output.

More Information

dBASE is a Windows application that includes many features for managing databases and building and compiling programs. The application provides a report designer that allows you to configure the layout and capabilities of your report as you query different databases.

For example, suppose you want to retrieve information from your customers during a specific range of dates. In that case, you can create a report to query your "Customer," "Invoice," and "Lineitem" tables in your database.

How to open a REP file

You can open REP files with dBASE in Windows. For example, you can open a REP file by selecting File → Open.

Since REP files store information in plain text, you can also open them with a text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad (Windows) or Apple TextEdit (Mac). You may need to rename the .rep file extension to .txt for the text editor to recognize it.

When opened in a text editor, you can modify the properties of the custom report. However, it will not appear the same as if you open it with dBASE. Also, incorrectly editing the file will corrupt the report.

A REP file may also be a replay file created by NullpoMino, an open-source falling-block puzzle game inspired by Tetris. It stores recorded gameplay data from a completed session, including player inputs, game settings, and timing information. Instead of saving a video of the match, the replay file records the actions taken during the game so the software can recreate the session exactly as the user played it.

More Information

The REP format is designed specifically for use within NullpoMino, storing structured gameplay data in a compact format that allows the game engine to replay the session using the same rules and random piece generation. Competitive players, speedrunners, and puzzle game enthusiasts use replay files to review performance, share strategies, verify scores, or analyze mistakes. Since the file contains gameplay data rather than video footage, it is typically much smaller than a screen recording.

NOTE: REP files are saved in the following directory by default:

C:\​NullpoMino\​replay

Common REP Filenames

YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS.rep - The file naming convention NullpoMino uses when saving replays as REP files. For example, a replay saved at 1:32 pm (and 4 seconds) on February 24, 2026, would be 2026_02_24_13_32_04.rep.

How to open a REP file

You can open REP files with NullpoMino. To open a REP file with NullpoMino, select Replay from the main menu.
