Hi All,
How to find the file which is having a maximum character in filename(length of file name)? using a shell script???

What maximum character? What are you talking about?

for example i have 10 files and 10 sub dir's in Current dir. In that one file having a longest name..."abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.txt".

In my curent dir how to find the file wich is having longest file name(having maximum char length)???It should recursively all the dir and find out.

Is it clear???

The more clearly you can describe your problem, the more likely you are to get an answer.

find -type f | awk '{ if (length($0) > longest) { name = $0; longest = length(name); } } END { print name; }'

Thank you for the answer...

It's working fine...but i have more than one file which is having same maximum length...at that case its displaying finally only one name....what shall i do for that...

Example file name is

abcdefgh.c = 10 char
a1234523.c = 10 char

Its displaying only one name... what shall i do for that????

Instead of using a scalar variable to store the longest file name, you will need to use an array that may contain one or several file names.
