Retrieving deleted data

[DjangMan]

I have a Btrieve table that has had all the records deleted out of it. I have a copy of that table immediately after the records were deleted so no new data has been written to that table. I can see the records within the table using a hex editor. I have the DDF's to tell me the field layouts.

Is there a tool out there that will allow me to extract the data out? I'm tempted to write one just for this occasion but I don't want to re-invent the wheel.

I've never seen any method other than restoring from backup to recover deleted records.

That's the conclusion I'm coming to as well. I'll try writing something then. Each record in the table has a field that I know the value of so I can search for that and count bytes back to the start of the record and export the data into a format that the BUTIL can load.

Wish me luck!
