.obj to .cpp converter?

shut down your computer, boot from removable media, some sort of the UNIX, and run strings utility on your hard drive. It may be able to recover text off your source code.

As everyone has pointed out, this is impossible.

I would suggest that before you rebuild all those files, you take the time to look into SVN or another version control system.

Version Control allows you to save copies of your files to a safe place. If the compiler eats your homework, you can update with the last copy you saved to the repository.

You should try Recuva

You are out of luck. There is no safe way to reverse an obj file back to its cpp source.

I do not think that is actually possible. You'd be reversing the compilation process, which from my knowledge is not possible.

It is impossible to do that...as all the code's comments and variables are translated into a machine code, you cannot deterministically reproduce a variable name by gleaning in on assembler byte code, Consider this as an example of a mock dump of a binary image:

0x55 0x90 0x33 0xf0 ....

Now, how can you tell that's variable foobar that is of type int....

Hope this helps, Best regards, Tom.

.obj files are text files for a 3d modle i was actuly looking for something to bring them into cpp to display using openGL. there are programs out there to load them into cpp i was looking for one to download when i came arcoss this.

As said earlier, it is impossible to get the C source code from on obj. As an alternative, you can try a file recovery utility and scan your disk for lost files. I have previously used testdisk with partial success.

Also, you really need to use some form of SCM!

NO, it's not possible. obj files contain object code, not source code. The compilation process is typically not reversible.

PS: Visual Studio did surely not delete your code files when you pressed F5. They are somewhere, or you've deleted them accidentially.
