Have you tried that yet?

Oct. 29th NOTES:
I double clicked on the Reaper ICON on the Desktop, -then clicked on File -and then on Open Project, I checked on the "Open in new project tab" box. Then I went down the list on the left side of the "Open Project" window to "New Volume (D)" which is the Desktop's internal SSD that contains the RADAR projects.
When I clicked on "New Volume (D)" the "#2nov2020withredo" project was at the top of the list, (the Folder from the internal SSD containing the specific RADAR 24 BWF audio files that I want to Import & work on). I then clicked on & highlighted this and typed #2nov2020withredo into the File name box and clicked on Open.
After clicking Open the original RADAR 24 project name came up, "MAY Triplets L V_01-24_RADAR" I then clicked on & highlighted this and typed MAY Triplets L V_01-24_RADAR into the File name box and clicked on Open.
At the top of the "Open Project" window it now reads;
> This PC > New Volume (D) > #2nov2020withredo > MAY Triplets L V_01-24_RADAR
-and a new list comes up with, Name, Date modified, Type, and Size headings -"Audio Files", "Disk Info Files", "Project Info Files", and "RADAR System Files" -all File Folders.
I then clicked on & highlighted "Audio Files" and after typing it into the File name box, -clicked on Open., -but "Audio Files" disappeared from the File name box -and all that was in the Open Project window then was a "No items match your search" message... -now at the top of the "Open Project" window it reads;
<< #2nov2020withredo > MAY Triplets L V_01-24_RADAR > Audio Files
This seemed odd because when I went through a very similar process with Cakewalk by BandLab everything went basically the same, -except that after "Audio Files" & clicking Open, -I got a long vertical list of thousands of clips (from 0001b7a1 wav all the way to 00827995.wav) -that proved to be untenable, at least I couldn't find a way to get these many clips into a project. At first I was able to get one clip at a time onto a new project -showing audio visual representation, by some means or another I was at first able to play & hear one clip at a time. However after trying this over & over again something happened & changed & I couldn't any longer do anything with it at all.... Someone advised me at one point that I should be able to import one Track at a time into CbB however I would have needed to be able to listen to these clips so as to try and ascertain where the various tracks were, and would never be sure anyway where these tracks began & ended exactly etc.
I thought I was at an impasse again with Reaper, what you've read so far was going to be my post, -however, I happened to notice to the right of the File name box & just above [Open] -a powder blue window box that read;
"All supported Projects (*.RPP,*."
-I then clicked on the downwards arrow and got the list that I should have been looking around for earlier;
All supported Projects (*.RPP;*.EDL;*.TXT;clipsort.log)
REAPER Project files (*.RPP)
EDL TXT (Vegas) files (*.TXT)
EDL (Samplitude) files (*.EDL)
RADAR Session TXT files (PROJ*.TXT)
NINJAM log files (clipsort.log)(clipsort.log)
REAPER Project Backup files (*.RPP-BAK)
All files (*.*)
-Needless to say I then clicked on, "RADAR Session TXT files (PROJ*.TXT)"
( Alistair S indicated that it seems that it would be a TXT file. )
I went through the process again, starting at the original RADAR 24 project name, "MAY Triplets L V_01-24_RADAR", -clicking on & highlighting this and then typing MAY Triplets L V_01-24_RADAR into the File name box & clicking on Open, and then doing the same with Audio files. -But even though I had the "RADAR Session TXT files (PROJ*.TXT)" setting in place, when I clicked [Open] "Audio Files" disappeared again from the File name box -and in the Open Project window all that came up was the same "No items match your search" message... -at the top of the "Open Project" window it still reads;
<< #2nov2020withredo > MAY Triplets L V_01-24_RADAR > Audio Files
With the "RADAR Session TXT files (PROJ*.TXT)" setting in place, I decided to go through the entire process again from first clicking on "New Volume (D)" -the Desktop's internal SSD that contains the RADAR projects from down the list on the left side of the "Open Project" window. -Then #2nov2020withredo & Open, -to MAY Triplets L V_01-24_RADAR & Open, and then
Audio Files and clicking on Open. -But unfortunately still only a "No items match your search" message was achieved.
Note that I had the "Open in a new project tab" box checked for these trials.
I clicked Cancel then tried again by selecting Open project under File and then firstly selecting the "RADAR Session TXT files (PROJ*.TXT)" setting.
This time I had neither the "Open in new project tab" or the "Open with FX offline (recovery mode)" boxes checked.
By going through the same exact process I got the "No items match your search" message again...
Clicking Cancel again I tried again by selecting Open project under File and then firstly selecting the "RADAR Session TXT files (PROJ*.TXT)" setting, having neither the "Open in new project tab" or the "Open with FX offline (recovery mode)" boxes checked -and going through the same process again, except this time instead of selecting Audio Files, this time I selected "RADAR System files".
Typing "RADAR System files" (instead of "Audio Files") into the File name box & clicking on [Open] got me "PROJ030-MAY Triplets LV.TXT", -under Type it says Text Document & under Size it says 34,369 KB...
Highlighting & typing in PROJ030-MAY Triplets LV.TXT into the File name box & clicking Open -finally got me the "Reaper Digital Audio Workstation" icon & page with it busily processing all of these thousands of bits, -but, it soon came to a halt and a little white window appeared over top of everything stating, " EDL TXT import error RADAR Project: Invalid END= after BEGIN=
-Then when I clicked on [OK] -another little animated window appeared titled "Building Peaks" -that was again processing the tiny clips etc. -as I was trying to chronicle this for the user forum thread this process seemed to suddenly conclude when I was typing this post on a laptop (the Desktop with the DAW is Offline)
-What I have now on the screen is what appears to be 5 Tracks,
-just above the volume sliders & Pan centre controls it says, 1.4.00 / 0:01.500 [Stopped]
I am able to play this audio -and it plays all the tracks together the 1st track is the vocals, the 2nd track is the guitar track and the 3rd & 4th tracks are bass (parallel compression), the 5th track is guitar harmonics -the thing is I had two tracks for the guitar harmonics on tracks 5 & 6 -that I would pan left & right for a stereo effect.
However it still sounds much the same as I recall it sounding coming out of the RADAR 24, it is nice to hear this work even in this way, -after all of this time.
I can't tell yet, but it seems that these 5 tracks span the entire length of the Radar project, (i hope so...).
This is a prototype project that entails a great deal of "Comping" there's a number of different versions -with a number of different intros, musical interludes, bridges, and codas, the bass line differs for all of these various instrumental parts that I'm considering -so I'd really like to have all of these other tracks (not only for the other guitar harmonics track #6 that I need for the stereo pan effect) the other tracks contain these other comping choices etc. -This project was a bunch of excerpts that I was coping & pasting around to see what approach I liked best for the final version etc.
Because I know little of the ways of these audio file backups I must mention that when I was able to look at them all on the Cakewalk by BandLab DAW what I could see was a very long vertical list of thousands of clips -that for some reason start off with two unusual numbers, 000000b6.wav and 000000e4.wav
-but then proceeds in a very orderly fashion;
0001b7a0.wav
0001b7a1.wav
0001b7a2.wav
0001b7a3.wav
0001b7a4.wav

0001b7da.wav
0001b7db.wav
0001b7dc.wav -etc., etc., .... -all the way to, 00827995.wav
-Other than that the only other incongruency that I saw was that for some reason, 0001b7f0.wav was missing (?)
-Of course the list of clips is far too long for me to find or see any other incongruencies,..... -I'm left to wonder if that could be the problem with Reaper not being able to import the entire project ?
Not knowing what possible disfunctioning could possibly be involved with my by then faltering RADAR 24 when I made this backup I will find someway to save this project tonight & scrutinize it further this weekend -over the monitors. I do have another backup (without redo) to think about.
What do you advise at this point ?
