Some how I messed up my program terribly and I was hoping you could tell me a way to convert my .XWAM (the object file, maybe for some you use .O) file back to usable code from my previous compile.
I am using the XSB compiler, by the way.
THANK YOU!

A quick google search doesn't reveal any xwam or xsb decompiler. I think you're just going to have to rewrite your code.
For future reference, you might want to use a revision control system, which will let you easily archive snapshots of your code, so you can track changes and step back to a working version if you mess something up. Subversion is a free and pretty decent revision control system, if you have a Linux box handy to run the server (3rd party servers do exist for other platforms, though).

Maybe you could use some kind of unerase tool.

Subversion for Windows exists straight from the source, not third-party, including VS 2005/2008 plug-ins:

Ahh, interesting. It had a Windows client, but not a Windows server last time I checked.

It won't help your past problems; you're basically SOL unless you can decompile your .XWAM, and even then, most decompilers won't give you back your original output like it was, ie. commented, readable, pretty formatted, etc.
But, ReedBeta's advice will prevent this from happening again. Have a versioning repository where you keep your source, plus backups, will save your ass once in a while.
