Do you want to find the length of each line in a file?
Here's a complete example with a few methods to find the length:
The title of the post suggests that maybe you want to find the maximum length of a line in a file.

Hi All,
I didn't find any thread that match this question so I hope it's not redundant. I am totally new to Unix. I want to know what is the maximum length of the os-commandline in Unix. Will it cause any problem if I run any application whose total path length is much longer than 256... (2 Replies)
hi,
I am using solaris10. I have to write a bourne shell script, which copies files for the said destination path which is passed as an argument to the script.
it looks like this
myscript.sh /var/test -->destination path
now i would like to know what is the maximum length i can... (3 Replies)
Hi,
I need to create a file of record length more than 300 characters.
But in my unix box, i am able to create a file only with a maximum of 256 characters per record.
Is there anyway i can create a file with more than 300 characters in this case?
Or How to increase the maximum record... (1 Reply)
Hi,
I wanted to know what is the maximum length of command which can be run on a bourne (sh) shell? Where can I find that information? Is it different for different OS flavors?
Please help.

Is there a maximum length for a shell script command? How can I detect that in my OS?
For example, if I have something like:
command A | command B | command C | awk '{print $1 $2 $3 $4 $5}'
then can we break the commands and also the arguments inside awk ?
Thanks (11 Replies)
How can I change the maximum length of a programming line in fortran and C (specifically in fortran 77)?
Seems the default maximum length is 72 in fortran 77.
Thanks. (4 Replies)

euc
EUC(5) BSD File Formats Manual EUC(5)NAME
euc -- EUC encoding of wide characters
SYNOPSIS
ENCODING "EUC"
VARIABLE len1 mask1 len2 mask2 len3 mask3 len4 mask4 mask
DESCRIPTION
EUC implements a system of 4 multibyte codesets. A multibyte character in the first codeset consists of len1 bytes starting with a byte in
the range of 0x00 to 0x7f. To allow use of ASCII, len1 is always 1. A multibyte character in the second codeset consists of len2 bytes
starting with a byte in the range of 0x80-0xff excluding 0x8e and 0x8f. A multibyte character in the third codeset consists of len3 bytes
starting with the byte 0x8e. A multibyte character in the fourth codeset consists of len4 bytes starting with the byte 0x8f.
The wchar_t encoding of EUC multibyte characters is dependent on the len and mask arguments. First, the bytes are moved into a wchar_t as
follows:
byte0 << ((lenN-1) * 8) | byte1 << ((lenN-2) * 8) | ... | bytelenN-1
The result is then ANDed with ~mask and ORed with maskN. Codesets 2 and 3 are special in that the leading byte (0x8e or 0x8f) is first
removed and the lenN argument is reduced by 1.
For example, the ja_JP.eucJP locale has the following VARIABLE line:
VARIABLE 1 0x0000 2 0x8080 2 0x0080 3 0x8000 0x8080
Codeset 1 consists of the values 0x0000 - 0x007f.
Codeset 2 consists of the values who have the bits 0x8080 set.
Codeset 3 consists of the values 0x0080 - 0x00ff.
Codeset 4 consists of the values 0x8000 - 0xff7f excluding the values which have the 0x0080 bit set.
Notice that the global mask is set to 0x8080, this implies that from those 2 bits the codeset can be determined.
