I don't see the tool you need here https://www.affymetrix.com/support/developer/powertools/changelog/index.html . I am afraid there is no such tool.

is it possible via writing scrip in R or python?

if I were a person with such task, I'd refuse to do it - http://dept.stat.lsa.umich.edu/~kshedden/Courses/Stat545/Notes/AffxFileFormats/cel.html - it seems to complicated to recover from txt files, I don't see how can I use txt files to recover it
