I had some code written in a file, which I was loading into a Jupyter notebook using `include(<filename>)`, then running the functions in the file. Somehow the file got overwritten in such a way that I cannot recover the contents, but I still have the notebook open that had loaded the original code. Is there some way to recover the source code? I found [this](http://blog.rtwilson.com/how-to-rescue-lost-code-from-a-jupyteripython-notebook/) for python.
