Phuztone Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I have recovered some files whose file names started with "$$_"filename. What are these files? What is the $$_ there for? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted April 16, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 16, 2018 I've no idea. Do you mean start with "$$_"filename, or $$_filename? Does the folder name give you a clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators nukecad Posted April 17, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 17, 2018 From my very old experience of Unix (not used it for years). In a Unix Bash shell $$ returns the Process ID of a running script . I'm assuming that Recuva is using Unix or Linux to scan the disc, (many/most recovery tools do), and is using the process ID's to generate temporary filenames for whatever it has recovered. EDIT. Here's a bit more about these Unix special parameters that start with $ for anyone interested:https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/218270/which-are-bash-shell-special-parameters *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?
