Hi,

I was working on a file and i closed my terminal before saving the file.

I would like to know whether,
there is any LOCATION where i can find the UNSAVED FILE.

Regards,

No much to go on here. It would really help to know what you were doing.

If you were using "vi", try "vi -r" (recover).

Hi

The file will saved as .filename.swp in the same location.
vi -r filename it will recover the file from .filename.swp and
later u can delete the .filename.swp.
