digitalmars.D.learn - Recovering D1 Code from .obj or .exe files
- jicman (6/6) Nov 03 2009 Greetings!
Greetings! I need your help, if so at all possible... I just lost lots of code changes because a computer lock down, but I have a good .exe file with .obj and also .exe files. Is there a possibility to grab the code from those files? Or, is there any way that I can recover what I did this weekend? I have backups as of friday, but I did lots of work this weekend that I would like to get back. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, josé

Hello jicman,Greetings! I need your help, if so at all possible... I just lost lots of code changes because a computer lock down, but I have a good .exe file with .obj and also .exe files.

I have backups as of friday, but I did lots of work this weekend that I would like to get back..obj and .exe files have none of the source code in them you might be able to recover the program as C with some tools but it will be very ugly code and will take longer to clean up then to redo your weekend of work. Besides, if you just redo the work it will be easier the second time.

Template source code was in plain text in the executable. So if you did meta programming, you might recover those, unless they were somehow stripped.
