Overwritten script!!!
-
I accidentally overwritten a file *.rb with a *.html (generated by the script) that is loaded at this time in SU. Is there a way to recover it?
-
How can something.html overwrite something.rb? The file names differs.
-
It seems like he wrote the HTML file using the ".rb" extension, instead of the ".html" extension.
This could happen by using__FILE__, instead of:
File.join( File.dirname(__FILE__), File.basename(__FILE__,".rb"), ".html" )?
-
It might help (in the future,) to use an editor with an auto-backup feature.
-
did you type it directly into 'Ruby Console' and is the session still open?
if so, you can use the 'up arrow' to go back to it, otherwise it's a learning experience...
EDIT: should have read the post in detail first, but I'll leave this up for others...
if your on linux what editor did you write it in, most have history...
