Recover deleted directory in EXT3

Hi
I can recover deleted files using "debugfs" & "extundelete" by running:

Code:

sudo debugfs /dev/sda3

and find inode number of deleted file using "ls -d" command and then running:

Code:

sudo extundelete /dev/sda3 --restore-file <inode#>

but when my desired file was in a deleted folder I can't find my desired file inode number using debugfs.
How can I find inode number of files in a deleted directory?

A directory is just a file which contains the names and inode numbers of its files. Undelete the directory to get the files that you want.
