    where to find txt files of Essay questions?

    I recently conducted a study using media lab that included essay questions. The data was then saved in a data folder itself containing two folders: byvariablename and byquestionnaire.
    But i can't find the txt files of the essay questions in there, where are they saved to?

    Unfortunately each week all files on the computer I worked on are deleted, and now I fear that I may have lost those txt. files (in case they were saved in another folder besides the data folder).

    1) where are the txt.files saved to?
    2) is there a way to retrieve them from the byvariablename/byquestionnaire folders?

    Gist is that the essay data are stored in separate text files (named using their respective variable name in the experiment). They should be located in your main data folder (i.e., as opposed to being within the questionnaire or variablename subfolders)
