I executed a working notebook which had written several thousand lines of text output at the bottom of the notebook. When I saved it I accidentally answered Yes when it asked whether I wanted to save the changes. All the changes were the text output it had written, which I have already written to a different file, so I didn't need them. When I wanted to open the same file, it said something about a format error at line 32868, and displayed a few characters it didn't like. I removed them with Mathematica but the file will not execute. Also it displays in the pure text form so it's very hard to know where in the file that I recognize the error(s?) begin. I would like to restore in readable form the file up to the error(s) so I can reconstruct the rest of it, but I don't know if or how this is done. I can't work with the file in the pure text form. I'd be grateful for any help. Steve Gray
