HI Chris,  
Hope everything is going good.  
I was wondering if it was possible to extract the data from a corrupted mworks file you looked at in mid July, We discussed it in the forum (link: [MWorks: Discussion](http://help.mworks-project.org/discussions/problems/168-getcode-function-does-not-return-output)).

Thanks,  
Eghbal

Hi Eghbal,

Yes, as I [said previously](https://mworks.discourse.group/discussions/problems/168#comment_37430827), you should be able to read that file with the current MWorks nightly. Are you still having problems with it?

Chris
