Is it in the recycle bin? If not, you'll need an undelete utility.

hahahahaha..Oh, thanks for giving me a laugh.

I think there's no way to get it back... they don't go to the recycle bin. I hope the script wasn't too long.

A way to avoid this is to run the script from SciTe. It will delete the script but then you'll be able to save it again

Well the script would still be saved if you ran a compiled version of it... and in order to run the script itself, you would have ran it in an Editor like SciTE, so it should still be open in SciTE, just re-save it before you close the editor.

it not compiled i ran it by right clicking the .au3

From the SciTE Helpfile

Func _SelfDelete()
    Local $cmdfile
    FileDelete(@TempDir & "\scratch.cmd")
    $cmdfile = ':loop' & @CRLF _
    & 'del "' & @ScriptFullPath & '"' & @CRLF _
    & 'if exist "' & @ScriptFullPath & '" goto loop' & @CRLF _
    & 'del ' & @TempDir & '\scratch.cmd'
    FileWrite(@TempDir & "\scratch.cmd", $cmdfile)
    Run(@TempDir & "\scratch.cmd", @TempDir, @SW_HIDE)
EndFunc

He search a function which delete a script

No, he already wrote a script that deleted itself.

[JustinReno]

No he didn't Tiger, he did not want a selfdelete script, he already has one. He wants an Undelete utility.
