Help required in displaying lines exceeding 79 chars along with their line numbers ??
Hi folks,

I am looking for a solution to display those lines in any file that contains 80 or more characters along with their corresponding line number in the file.


The below script will print the lines with their corresponding line numbers...
sed = Sample.cpp | sed 'N;s/\n/\t/; s/*\(.\{6,\}\)\n/\1/' | sed -n '/^
.\{80\}/p'

but i've found that the sed command for numbering has affected the final result......the new result calculates the line numbers as characters too.....which i dont require......

Does any one have any alternate idea to get the expected result ???? Kindly help......

HISTORY

       The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S.  Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool.  It was prompted
       by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.

SEE ALSO

       shtool(1), sed(1).
