Hello Wei,
a corrupted notebook can be repaired manually by the following steps:
1. Open the corrupted notebook in a text editor
2. Select its content and copy it to an empty Mathematica notebook
copy_from.nb
3. Close the text editor with the corrupted notebook
3. Create another empty Mathematica notebook copy_to.nb and write the
following expresssion to the first input cell
NotebookPut @ Notebook[{...}]
4. Select the first complete Cell[...] expression in copy_from.nb by
placing the cursor into the word Cell and pressing twice Ctrl+.
5. Cut the selected cell by Ctrl+x and paste it by Ctrl+v into
copy_to.nb to the list inside Notebook[{...}]
6. Continue with all remaining cells in copy_from.nb, building up a
comma-separated list in copy_to.nb
7. Exceute the NotebookPut @ Notebook[{Cell[...]..}] expression.
A new Mathematica notebook will be created in a new window which
ideally contains all the contents of the original corrupted notebook.
Save the repaired Mathematica notebook in a new file.
Best regards,
Hannes
