I was working on this srt file sudddenly my pc got shutdown I'm pretty sure i've saved the file at some point. now when I open the file it's just a blank file with no content in it yet file file size is still the same as the original file
When opening the file in a srt special program I get different type of errors
When opening the file using a text editor I get a content which is 1 line and 95,000 columns
Is there is a way to recover my file or atleast part of it?
First thing to do when repairing whatever type of file is opening the file in a hex editor. Goal is to determine if the file contains any data in the first place.
It doesn't matter whether it's a MP4, a JPEG, a DOCX file, running some repair tool against an empty file makes no sense what-so-ever. Most of these tools wil give some kind of error message or say repair failed rather than just plain tell you, this file is empty, so you go try another tool, and another...
Anyway ..
I downloaded your file from the shady website (Chrome screams DANGER) and, this file can not be repaired as at contains nothing but zeros. It's an empty shell.
stringsreading from the block device or from a copy of it (a case somewhat similar to this one), but certainly not with anything reading from the file you posted. – Kamil Maciorowski Dec 30 '22 at 16:48stringsis now there as one of the answers. – Kamil Maciorowski Jan 13 '23 at 09:42
