File corrupted after power outage, restore?

[astranberg]

Hello friends,

Been working on a script for weeks. File had several functions in it and was quite lengthy. The script was running when my power went out. Now I've rebooted and the file says 'nulnulnulnul' about several thousand times.

I've not made any manual backups. Any chance SCiTE keeps backups hidden somewhere?

Thanks,

Adam

Try : Right mouse click on the (corrupted) .au3 file in the Explorer and select "restore previous versions" from 'Properties'.

for the future :

SciTE-Editor -> Tools -> SciTE Config (or CTRL+1) :
Backup Strategy -> Keep x BAK versions of the edited file
