Powershell: Long File Names
From Mike Beane's Blog
Sometimes knowing ahead of time that long file names are present is helpful.
Example code
$maxlength = 214 $longfilelist = cmd /c dir "C:\windows\" /s /b |? {$_.length -gt $maxlength} foreach ($longfile in $longfilelist) { $filelength=$longfile.length Write-Host "$filelength - $longfile"}
