v3 v4 14 14 {{{ralf}}} has one (and only one) mandatory parameter: The name of the file you want to recover. If that name starts with a slash (i.e. it reflects an absolute path, as e.g. {{{/etc/passwd}}}), the name is taken as-is - otherwise it is expected to be relative to the current working directory. {{{ralf}}} will then try to recover the file specified - for details, see [wiki:ralf here]. 15 15 16 You may use wildcards in the file name: {{{?}}} stands for a single character, {{{*}}} for none, one, or multiple characters (as you are used from the shell). To give an example: {{{r?lf.*}}} would match "ralf.txt", "rolf.doc", etc. - but due to the dot, not "rolf". (Note: This is somehow broken in 0.1.2, but will work with the latest code from the repository, the later 0.1.3)16 You may use wildcards in the file name: {{{?}}} stands for a single character, {{{*}}} for none, one, or multiple characters (as you are used from the shell).

Sometimes the iNode itself is reused while the data blocks are still not - and you may be as lucky as have all files of the directory (been) using the same iNode group. It's worth a try; G.A.B.I. (or !PhotoRec/foremost themselves) are still available as a last resort, to recover ''all'' possible data of the partition.
