Is there a way to recover lost items after they disappear when a chest resets?

I'd like to move them from a saved game from before the chest reset to my latest saved game.

Can this be done from the console? At all?

You can manually add the items back in to your inventory by looking up the Object ID's in the construction set and consoling:

player.additem object id quantity

You can also find the id's by looking the items up on the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Main_Page. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Items a good place to start.

Thanks.

Thing is, there was A LOT of stuff in this particular container. I was hoping for something less manual.

I know this is a long shot, but what I really need is a way to save in game items to a file and a way to read them from that file into another game. So then I could load my old game, copy all of the items from a particular container into a file, load my current game and load all of the items from the file into the same container.

I don't suppose there's anything like that available, is there?
