File deleted by g++ accidentally, recovery possible?

Asked by newwarrior21st

I typed in "g++ -o todA.cpp todA" to compile a program named todA.cpp and create an object named todA, this command is actually incorrectly typed and it's supposed to be "g++ -o todA todA.cpp". Unfortunately, after typing this in my program is gone. Is there any way to recover my lost file?

Use your backups, otherwise there may be todA.cpp~ which will be a hidden file in the same folder as the original (depends which text editor you used)

Can you help with this problem?
