Title: .xls file created on Zaurus not showing up
Post by: sloan_mclaughlin on September 24, 2004, 07:47:01 am

So I created a spreadsheet on my Zaurus and saved it as .xls to Internal Flash and it's not there.  So after I seemingly lost all of that data I tried the same thing with a test file just to see and got the same result.  So I saved a .xls file to Internal Flash from my PC to see if that would work and it did.  Is my original file gone?  If not, where the heck do I look for it?  Same question goes for my test files.  If I can't recover the data, I'd at least like to get rid of the files to free up what little memory they consume (if they are indeed in there somewhere, and they should be, since they 'acted' as if they saved).  Thanks!

Oh yeah, SL-5600, Sharp OS, Hancom Sheet.

The "find" command is available on the zaurus.  Have you tried it?

"find / -name filename.xls" in a terminal window.

Yes.  It will find the files that show up in Internal Flash (inside subfolders and out) but not the ones referred to in my first post.
