Question

In the process of saving a file a power surge rebooted computer. Any chance of recovering file?

Answer 1

Have a look at the sample script below. The "while" loop waits for the specified number of milliseconds, then reads the contents of a directory and processes every individual file in the directory. In my example, it just prints the file path to the console. You would replace this part with your Open / Save as / Move sequence.
For more file system commands, refer to Adobe's Javascript Tools Guide, "File object functions".
var stop = false;
while( stop==false ) {
    // Wait for 20.000 ms
    $.sleep(20000);
    var fld = new Folder("c:/incoming");
    var filesInFld = fld.getFiles("*.fm");
    for(var f=0; f < filesInFld.length; f++) {
        // process the individual file
        $.writeln(filesInFld[f]);
    // Exit the  loop after 19:00
    var time = new Date();
    if( time.getHours() > 19 ) stop = true;
