\303\251

[Luiggi]

Bonjour tout le monde,

My laptop crashed as I was typesetting an TeX file. Reboot. The file had lost a big part of what I have typed. In a #MyFile.tex#  I got my text back BUT all my french
é,à, ô etc had reappeared in \303\251 etc Is there a way to get the initial file back without re-reading it ? I tried a Ctrl-x Ctrl-w then selcted iso-latin1 or  utf... without sucess.
Thanks for your help in basic english.

M-x copy-file RET #MyFile.tex# RET Copy-of-MyFile.tex RET
C-x RET c utf-8 C-x C-f Copy-of-MyFile.tex RET

Auto-save files are written in the Emacs internal representation, not
in UTF-8.  So the right way of doing this is "M-x recover-file RET".

Oops, I assumed utf-8 without checking.  Sorry.

Bonjour,
   I'm sorry  but I do not understand what I should do. From the first answer, I understood it would be safer to have first a copy of my #MyFile.tx#. Done. And then? If I try Alt-X recover file emacs seems to wait for the name of the file to be recovered. If I answer #MyFile.tex# or Copy_MyFile.tex emacs says "No" (...is an auto-save file or ... not current).
Merci for your help.

For recover-file, Emacs expects the *original* name of the file, i.e.
"MyFile.tex" (with no quotes around, that is). It infers itself the
name of the save file. The reason is that the "name transformation"
can be customized (for example to auto-save remote files in the local
machine) and thus is not always easy to infer for the user.

Either

  M-x recover-file RET MyFile.tex RET

(without the # characters), or

  M-x recover-session RET

then navigate to the session and the file you want to recover, and
press RET.

There's also "M-x recover-this-file RET", which makes sense in the
buffer that visits the file you want to recover -- this is generally
useful when you discover that the text in the buffer doesn't include
the edits you did before the crash.

Thanks for your help particularly to Tomas. So ''Alt-x recover file enter MyFile.tex enter '' mâkes thé job.

Kudos also to Eli, whose answer was more insightful and complete than
mine.
