There are two possibilities:

1. Restore them from backup (if you have one)
2. Write them new ;-)

I think you are searching for an undelete-commando or any kind of wastebasket like under ms-windows, but there is none under unix ... bad luck

a hint for next time.

alias your rm command to move the files to the /tmp dir. then if you really wanted to delete them use a rm -f from the tmp dir.

its a tuff lesson to learn but it happens.
