hi, I try to recover an html/txt file. But how can I read this? After recover, I try to read the file and I get a strange code, not html.

Is it possible to convert this strange code back into html?

What’s your version of Notepad++?
Go to the ? menu, choose Debug Info and copy and paste the result here.

Can you describe what led up to getting into the situation you show?

yes, by mistake I delete+shift some html files. I manage to recover them with Recuva (or File Recovery), but both version of recovered html files have the same NULNULNUL, as you can see in the print screen
