Hi,
I desperately need to recover a deleted settings file which is stored in my USB flash drive. It has a .set extension but these types of files are basically text files (they can be opened and viewed with notepad/textedit.
Other data recovery programs have found the file in the USB but it is corrupted (possibly fragmented).
Is there a way photorec can recover this text file even if it has a .set extension? It holds months of work....
Thanks
Gianni

Re: Recover Text file with .set extension
Has the file a specific header, a text that is always present at the beginning ?
Otherwise PhotoRec may recover the file and save it with a txt extension.

Re: Recover Text file with .set extension
Hi thanks for your response.
So I just tried it with just having photorec search for txt or tx* files and holy macaroni I've found it. Photorec saved it as a txt file with a different file name.
You have literally saved my bacon - and months of work! The file contains optimisation settings for an algorithm I'm working on.
I cannot thank you enough. Needless to say I will be donating.
