just deleted 11 144 files!



Just noticed that I'm missing quit a lot of files.. Actually 11 144 of them! 
Must have done one of those famous 'rm -rf *' which I indiscriminatly do all 
the time (not anymoe) in the wrong place.
 
Managed to find out with  the program 'recover', tip from linux journal sept. 
issue that this happende 24 October at 01:33:15, at which time the machine was 
not turned on by the way.
 
Anyway, I now have those files all "rescued", but they all have names like
 
dump1243052  dump16725    dump490626  dump82075   dump997894 
dump1243053  dump16726    dump490628  dump82076   dump997895 
dump1243054  dump16727    dump490629  dump82077   dump997896 
dump1243055  dump16728    dump490630  dump82078   dump997897
 
is there anyway that I can extract the filenames of these? 
I know how to use like grep and managed to find the most important latex-files 
and eps-files, but the rest....
 
Any tips?
 
And don't mention BACKUP!!!
