What's stored in CDX is vallues of the
expression used for the tags. But it's
likely you also deleted from cdx as
it's connected to dbf and zap will
also zap the cdx.

You better had a backup.

If you can get something back, then by this
code:

Calvian Hsia here explained in detail the
structure of indexes and how to decode
index information.

Don't miss the link to the decoder, which is here:

As Calvin said it only works with text indexes,
so you may recover the text fields you indexed
and text expression like str(numericfield) or
dtos(date) if you indexed on those expressions,
but not indexes on other field types. And any
fields you didn't indexed are lost anyway.
