Hello, I'd like to find all file names that are larger than 6 digits long in a directory. What unix command I should use? awk? thanks for any help.

I prefer using the shell. This works even if your filename contains spaces: #!/bin/ksh ls -l |while read f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 f7 f8 filename do # only use files if [[ $(echo $f1|cut -c1) == "-" ]] then if [[ ${#filename} -gt 6 ]] then echo $filename fi fi done

Works like a charm. Thank you very much for your help!
