fmx is a binary file. As such it isn't very readable in a text editor. Why don't you take the code from the fmb?

That's why programmers use source control.
Try opening it in notepad - there will be some real text in there somewhere. But you are not going to get everything you need. You'll have to recreate the fmb the hard way.

Let this incident teach you a lesson. It says: backup. If you had it, you wouldn't be crying today. Now, there's nothing much you can do but start creating a new form.
