grep '.\{300\}' file
perl -ne 'print if /.{300}/' file

Hi,
Try something like
sed '/\w\{300,\}/!d' file
This should give you lines that have more than 300 word like
characters. If you put number after "," you may define the max number.
and you can change \w to match your needs => . .
Best regards
Petri

awk 'length >= 300' file
sed -n '/.\{300\}/p' file
[gentoo-user] [OT] find lines in text file by length
This is way OT, but I hope someone here can give me a quick answer: I have a text-file. Individual lines of it run from 10 to several thousand characters in length. Is there a simple* command that allows me to only display the lines that are, say, at least 300 characters long? Thanks in advance, W * simple of course includes appropriate incantations of sed/awk/perl/etc -- Willie W.
