yEd Could not import file

Question

Hello, 

I tried opening my graph file today, built using version 3.16.1 of yEd graph editor and I received the following error.

 

yEd has encountered the following error: Could not import file blockDiagram.graphml.

y.H.B.B.a: SAX error: Content is not allowed in prolog.

I am using Windows 8.1 operating system and version 3.16.1 of yEd.

Please could you help me as soon as possible?

 

The link to the file is here.

 

Thank you very much.

The file linked above is not a yEd generated GraphML file - at least not anymore. If it once was, its contents have been completely erased somehow.

Thank you for your answer. It was a file generated using yEd. Until yesterday, I could open and edit it without any problem. I do not know how it could be completely erased. And I guess there is no way of retrieving my graph, right?

Unfortunately, the file linked above does not contain any information at all anymore. So, no, there is no way to retrieve any information from that file.
