Hi All,

  Request your help on how to get the source code, i wrote a program named clean.d, complied it and by mistake deleted the source code(clean.d), so can we get back the source using the complied program(clean), if yes, can you any one help on the same.

You cant. You can disasm that's all (with Hopper or IDA Free 7).

Hi Basile,

 Thank you very much, luckily the file was backed up by the backup scheduler, so was able to restore the same.

I was going to suggest, next time use a backup, but you already have. Amazing how nice it is when you realize that has happened :)

I once had 2 weeks worth of work gone to a hard drive crash, because there was no backup. My company actually paid to have the drive restored because it was cheaper than recreating the project.

Definitely learned my lesson then.

Use a versioning system and push important changes as soon as you're done with smth to a remote location ; ). E.g. Git
