Recovery Error SOS!!

Audacity Help Forum GNU/Linux
1

I have a long stereo recording that crashed at somepoint.

Every time I attempt a recovery I get “Error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 2759”

I have opened the .autosave file in my text editor and the line reads:
<simplebloc

Not knowing what that means I’ve messed with line and every time gotten:
Error: mismatched tag at line 2759

I have attempted :deleteing, adding a “k” to bloc, seperating the tags on different lines (error was at line 2760), and seperated the tags with another <.

HELP!! and thank you for your time.

Sometimes you can delete the line and go with that, but in this case, isn’t it just that the tag isn’t closed?

<simplebloc

If there was only one block file in a wavetrack, it looks like the below (the required phrase is “simpleblockfile filename”):

<wavetrack name="Audio Track" channel="2" linked="0" mute="0" solo="0" height="150" minimized="0" isSelected="1" rate="44100" gain="1.0" pan="0.0">
		<waveclip offset="0.00000000">
			<sequence maxsamples="262144" sampleformat="262159" numsamples="1323000">
				<waveblock start="0">
					<simpleblockfile filename="e000087d.au" len="262144" min="-0.8" max="0.8" rms="0.461738"/>
				</waveblock>
			</sequence>
			<envelope numpoints="0"/>
		</waveclip>
	</wavetrack>
