Re: Identifing all filenames over 250 letters long

Assuming you're on Win* and like simple:

dir /s /b c:\* | perl -nE"length() > 250 && say"
[download]

Or if you want those with just filenames over 250 chars rather than the whole path:

dir /s /b c:\* | perl -nE"/\\([^\\]+)$/ and length($1) > 250 && say"
[download]

(Adjust as appropriate for non-5.10 builds.)

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

I of course like this one liner! In this case however, I think just print is better `dir /s /b c: \| perl -nE"length($_) > 10 && print"` [download] as the dir command already puts in new lines so the extra one by "say" (Note to OP: "say" is the 5.10 feature) could be distracting.	[reply] [d/l]
