Scan to find length of path/file names?

[spikey]

Is it possible to use TC to scan to find path\file names which exceed a certain value.

For example, I want to list all path\file names over 255 characters within a particular directory.

[Horst.Epp]

TC Everything searches
ev:yourfolder len:>255
ev:file:*.* len:>255
ev:folder:*.* len:>255

There's also a way without Everything: Install plugin Filename_ChrCount. Afterwards you can use the field "Pathname (ChrCount)" in TC's Find Files, tab Plugins, to check whether the paths exceed a certain length, in your case 255.

Is it possible to use TC to scan to find path\file names which exceed a certain value.

For example, I want to list all path\file names over 255 characters within a particular directory.

Depending on what to do with the result, I would do it perhaps with PowerShell:

Code: Select all

PS H:\temp>

PS H:\temp>dir -rec *.txt |select FullName, @{L="PathLen";E={($_.FullName).Length}}|sort PathLen -desc|Export-Csv zzzPathLen.csv

PS H:\temp>

zzzPathLen.csv

Code: Select all

H:\temp\NewFileFromTemplate\ShellNew\%Y-%m-%d Work folder structure\Sub Folder1\01 Order\%Y-%m-%d_KONTAKT.txt,"109"
H:\temp\SubFolders\SubFolder-01-03\Sub03Folder-01-01\Sub03Folder-Sub01\Space between lower upper regex.txt,"106"
H:\temp\PS\Encode2UTF8\sub folder\List of Zwei- drei-stellige Namen Songs music.txt.orig.txt,"92"
H:\temp\PS\Encode2UTF8 - Kopie\sub folder\List of Zwei- drei-stellige Namen Songs music.txt,"91"
H:\temp\001 space\_ aaaa TEST AllowedChars03  '   Apostrophe (single quotation mark) #.TXT,"90"
H:\temp\AutoHotkey 1.0.48.05_(30-Sep-2013)-TESTS\Extras\Editors\UltraEdit\Separators.txt,"88"

Clarifying:

dir -rec *.txt |
select FullName, @{L="PathLen";E={($_.FullName).Length}} |
sort PathLen -desc |
Export-Csv zzzPathLen.csv


Get-ChildItem -Recurse *.txt |
Select-Object FullName, @{   Label="PathLen"; Expression={($_.FullName).Length}   } |
Sort-Object PathLen -Descending |
Export-Csv zzzPathLen.csv


- - -

Alternative:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse *.txt |
Select-Object FullName, @{ Label="PathLen"; Expression={($_.FullName).Length} } |
Sort-Object PathLen -Descending |
Select-Object -First 15 |
Export-Csv zzzPathLen.csv

or rather:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse *.txt |
Select-Object FullName, @{ Label="PathLen"; Expression={($_.FullName).Length} } |
Sort-Object PathLen |
Select-Object -Last 15 |
Export-Csv zzzPathLen.csv


Just an idea

Thanks for the feedback guys. I have a got at some of those solutions.

I am a bit confused. I have Everything installed as a standalone program. Are you saying there is a way to integrate Everything into TC?

I have used the ChrCount method and it works reasonably well. It would be nicer still if the character count for a file/path was also displayed.
