URGENT HELP REQUIRED: Corrupted file!

(I hope this is the right section to post in...)

I was wondering if someone would be able to help me fix a corrupt file...

My computer suddenly shut off while I was using anime studio (I think the power cable was a little loose) and now that I turned it back on the file is corrupted and I can't open it! The following error message shows up when I try to open it:

Could not open file.

Error details:

Read error at line 4918. In code file ..\..\..\lib_moho\m_mesh.cpp, line 156.

I don't want to post the file publicly on the forum because it's for work... confidentiality and all that jazz... but if someone thinks they can fix this I could send them a PM or an email with the file.

If anyone could help I would really really appreciate it!

You should be able to open with text editor, search for lines that have m_mesh.cpp. See if you can figure out what is wrong, if not and it is only a few lines of code post them here, give a few lines before and after each time m_mesh appears. Maybe someone can help.

Thanks for you replies...

As far as i can tell from looking at it in a text editor (I've never done this before...) most of the file is just missing. The coding just cuts off abruptly and then it's blank (I downloaded SciTE and in there it says NUL for the whole line).

This is at line 4918. I deleted this layer in the text file but when I opened it up in anime studio there's barely anything there... only 2 of the vector layers are left (a leg and a body)... everything else is gone....

It looks pretty bleak but is there any chance I could save the rest? I think at this point I should probably just start again....

This problem bothered me many times.
Opening the .Anme file whit the notepad is a good idea but often it's useless.
Some time I find my files EMPTY, not line of code in them. I wonder how it can be...

I solved this problem only saving every minute with sequential name (like Char V1.1, Char V1.2), in this way you can have a "backup" of your work.

I save lots of files. I don't use periods though, I use underscore. Periods can sometimes make things confusing for the file type.

template_1.anme
template_2.anme
etc...

Bad luck man.

I even added a keyboard shortcut for Save as.

Yeah I started doing that now too.
