Restore corrupted AppleScript script

Hi all

Can anybody help me out.

I always backup my stuff. But not this time, not this time that I worked a very long day on the improvement of my script.

And my mac crashed when I was in the middle of a version that would not save because I was halfway coding a new part in the script.

Now when I want to open the script (.scpt) AppleScript acts as if it will open, but then immediately crashes.

That is only the case with this script file. Other script open just fine.

I can open the file with a text editor, but that looks weird and is some machine code weird row of all kinds of characters and here and the a variable name.

In that it looks the same as any other AppleScript script that I open with a text editor.

Does anyone know of a way to restore or retrieve as much information from the file as possible ?

Thanks

Please do not start the "you should have backed up" thing.

I know. I just know and it hurts. Let's see if something can be done. Otherwise I'll start over...
