I would like to know, if it is possible to get unsaved script tabs in R studio. I accidentally open and switch to new project, then my unsaved scripts disappeared. Can anyone help to get my unsaved script tabs.

If you are on Windows, Go to the folder:

C:\Users\[your user]\AppData\Local\RStudio-Desktop\sources

where there are all of your unsaved tabs in folders, especially those that begin with s like s-******.

There are two kinds of file (eg. D395C3B4 and D395C3B4-contents)
D395C3B4 file contains JSON information about your unsaved tab (eg. "tempName" : "Untitled76") and your correspanding codes are in D395C3B4-contents file.
Open D395C3B4-contents with notepad.
