Open a new workspace. In the title bar there is a small black triangle (Window menu). Close to the end, you should find âPrevious contents' With a bit of luck, it should be there Ben On 03 Feb 2014, at 11:35, PBK Research <peter@pbkresearch.co.uk> wrote:
I have just done something stupid, so this is just letting off steam (and maybe looking for someone else to blame!).
I have been playing with Moose (version 4.8), mainly because I want to experiment with PetitParser. I am struggling a bit, but getting somewhere I think. I have been trying out a lot of snippets in a workspace, before getting down to producing proper code. In a fit of madness, thinking I was closing a debugger window, I closed the workspace window. It looks as though I have lost the contents, though I can probably reconstruct them from the changes file. My main Smalltalk experience is with Dolphin Smalltalk, and there, if you try to close a workspace, it asks if you want to save the contents first. Could Pharo have something similar? - or am I the only idiot to do this?
As a supplementary point, I am trying to use PetitParser to parse natural language. From the examples it is clear that PP is designed with formal languages in mind. Am I wasting my time using it on natural languages? Has anyone else tried this?
Thanks for any advice
