If you were using namecoin-qt wallet and backed up your wallet.dat file all you have to do now is install the namecoin-qt wallet, replace the wallet.dat with your backed up file (on Windows \Users\<Your Username>\AppData\Roaming\Namecoin) and let it sync.

If you only have the address in the textfile you can not recover the coins. Look for the wallet.dat in your Roaming directory.
