      Today (November 5th), my PC was shut down unintentionally several times, and I found my memo contents were gone: NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL

      So I searched for the saved file(.bak, date modified November 4th) , but it also shows as: NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL

      Before the today’s unintentional PC shutdown, the memo wasn’t invalid actually.
      Is there any chance that I can covert the NUL into valid text?

      I’ll wait for your help.
      (I had a physical accident yesterday , and I suffered from this problem today. I want you to help me for good will.)

        if the file is still there but only contains NULs then I don’t think you can restore it from this file.
        Your only chance would be to find a earlier backup, but only if this was set initially, of course.

        Cheers
