Need find a file based length
Can some please help me? Want to find files over 35 characters in length? I am running HPUX. Would it be possible with find?

Thanks in advance

one way
Code:
ls | awk '{ if (length($0) > 35)  print $0  " over 35 chars." }'

Using find
Hi,
I think the following script should solve the problem.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
for v in $(find . -name '*' -type f  -print ) ; do
 f=${v##*/}
 if [[ ${#f} -gt 35 ]] ; then
   print " $v is the name of file with more than 35 char"
 fi
done

Please let us know if this doesn't works out.

Thanks
Nagarajan Ganesan.

Give a try on this.....

ls -R | awk -F" " '/^[a-zA-Z0-9]/ {if (length($0)>35) {print $0}}'

Thnx.
Dennis
