If you stored the file on the cloud (Dropbox, Google drive etc) you may be able to recover old versions. If you run Linux you may have a journalling file-system that can recover previous versions. Alternatively you may have committed the file to a version control system? In that case simply check out the old version. And of course if you regularly backup your disks then your backup programme can probably retrieve the last saved version. If none of the above applies then now you know why they should! :-( -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
