Cannot open RMarkdown file

Hello I was working on a project in r markdown with Rstudio. Usually I leave some r markdown files open in the r studio. But I cannot open the main file and don' t know how to recover at least the plain text code. The other files are available and I can open them but not the most important. This is the error: [image] And in the console when I try the open it shows: Error: embedded nul in string: '\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\ ecc.ecc. Is there a method to open this file? or at least recover its rmarkdown script? This fil…

The file does not open with any editor.

thank you.

@Cannot open RMarkdown file

embedded nul in string

This can be removed from a terminal session in Linux or macOS (it may be possible from Windows, but I've been away too long to know). Not tested (don't have a file handy with embedded nul, hence the backup)

cp your_file.Rmd your_file.BAK
perl -pi -e '\0//g' your_file.Rmd
