Updated to 4.0.5 and lost my code

-----------------------------------

I updated from 3.1.1A to 4.0.5 right after completing a 500+ line code for a school assignment. After opening it with turing 4.0.5 and closing it, the next time I opened it. The code was gone and there was 5000 lines of er.... this:
@@U"¹Ã¬Â¸9èóÐVW½pÆÿÿ¹d¸ÌÌÌÌó«Ç"¦Ã Ã·Ã¿Ã¿Ã¨02è"º@è¹3èŸßèè="¦Ã€u3ÀéŠ"¹EP迃Ä"¦Ã€u3ÀéshPFJøûÿÿQè

Does anyone know what happened? Could I have screwed up something? Is it possible to recover the code again? I do have a stand-alone exe I produced form the final code... but I never heard of exe -> source before.

Unfortunantly, I did not back it up and now I need to start it over again.

looks like you opened the .exe file instead of source :? Take another look for the source file.

and yes - there's no decompiler for turing.

Nope... it is the code. And it is more than twice the size than the exe.

maybe change the .t extension to .exe and see if it runs...

it could also be a conversion from dos type file to windows ? (i dunno, just a suggestion) and if you have the exe, you at least have proof of doing it :)

Thanks for the helps guys.

Sorry, I already deleted the corrupted file. 

But I got good news. A friend from my school has the code. It is sightly outdated, but I can rewrite the missing parts in time for submission. I had sent him the code to test it for me.   :D

A backup could be somewhere on your disk. Turing sometimes makes backups, I think the extention is .bkw, but not sure.
