Retrieve code from arduino?

Using Arduino Programming Questions
1

i did quite a bit of programming earlier today and went away for a while. unfortunately my wife used my computer and shutdown the arduino ide and didn't save the code i had been working on and testing - she didn't say yes when the ide asked her and for some reason i forgot to save it. the code is on the arduino, but unfortunately my project is not complete and i need to finish it up. i would like to retrieve it and continue if possible.... :frowning:

i do have an AVRISP mkII that i have used for other projects and i think i can use that w/ avr studio to get the program off the chip via the isp pins, but i think that just gets assembly in a best case scenario, is there a asm->arduino/c converter?

or, do i need to start over?

thanks in advance,
bob

do i need to start over?

Yes.

You sure do, FWIW I can garantee the second version will be better code.

Having said that, does the IDE delete all the files on exit? Maybe there's still a temp folder somewhere (unlikely).
