How can I sort the files by filename length

I started to migrate files from an old laptop to a new desktop computer and I use the directory command copy in search of my portable hard drive to backup file menu.

The backup hard drive helped save more than one copy of a large number of files and did just the file name a lot more time so you can differentiate between the files.

Unfortunately the Windows 7 search command (which allows you to search and sort out almost anything) will not allow me sort by file name length that seems the only way I can go in the new computer, once the files are copied and remove long file names. I can delete each one individually, but if I could simply sort by length of file name I then could highligth and remove all the longer file names at once. There are hundreds of them, and I don't have a whole day to do this.

So, for clarity, I was about to put a screen print here, but can't so I type and show a simple example:

NAME DATE MODIFIED DATE TYPE CREATES

DSC01001 15/05/2012 4.09 PM JPEG image 15/05/2012 16:09

DSC01001@6968 15/05/2012 4.09 PM JPEG image 15/05/2012 16:09

DSC01002

DSC01002@69868CFRETY

The right of the file name field data is the same on all files so can not differentiate or sorting by any other method

So if I could sort by filename above the longfiles would hopefully meet in order to be able to highlight and delete.

Hope it makes sense.

All the most nominated files do not have the symbol in the name of the file @?  If Yes, you can do a search on this basis:

name: ~ = @.

The ~ = part tells Windows 7 search to look anywhere in the file name.

With respect to the long file name sorting, that wouldn't be feasible in Windows 7 search.  There is a way to copy a list of files in a window, paste into an Excel spreadsheet, a formula that counts characters, and then you could sort Excel based on numbers, but you would not be able to delete the files from Excel.

Larch magic stuff, this saved me bloody hours! Thanks bunch cashey007

  • How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore? my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore?  my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    I know they are there and hidden somewhere, but this restoration took my settings of the computer to 2004! We lost all our data, our software that we use to operate our company at home, our quickbooks that has all our financial data, family photos, videos, Outlook will work not so no e-mail, all turned in time and 6 years ' worth of documents have disappeared.

    What happeneded was that I was trying to upgrade to quickbooks software when I got an error, I cancelled out of the facility, then restarted and that's when I got an error hal.dll something? I thought about a system restore would allow me to go back in time to just before when the error occurred, but he basically took my computer back to factory settings, so all the programs that I installed and paid hundreds of dollars for the past six years has disappeared, Microsoft Office and very expensive construction estimating software that we wil have to pay once AGAIN for If I can't get this program working properly.

    I am a fool! I can't believe what's happening.

    Someone at - it instructions on how I can retrieve either the programs and data that I need specifically or how to go and seek shade from the files I read online on and restore my computer for about 12 hours ago?

    Thank you all!

    Looks like you did a system rather than a system restore recovery.  If you have inserted a disc supplied with your machine and booted from it, you probably erased the disc and installed the original operating system provided with your computer.  Usually, a step in this recovery is to do a full format or quick of your drive.  If you did a full format, your data is permanently lost.  With a quick format, your data may still be there, somewhere but inaccessible by normal means.  Applications must generally be installed, in order to recover the files probably will not help unless you have the original installation media.  Your other data files (images, videos, financial data) may be salvageable, but at this point, it would be advisable to take your computer or your disk to a business/professional who is experienced with data disc recovery.  It will be cheap and there is no guarantee.

    Impatient, remember investigate you a backup strategy for your computer and critical data.  Hard drives can go wrong with little or no warning.

    Deleted file recovery can recover incomplete files, i.e. the part of these files may be missing.  Recover deleted files is much more reliable if recovery of a backup, instead of using recovery software.

    These things depend on the operating system and the file system.

    One thing, you can see: open one of these files damaged with a text editor, and then make sure that the constant % PDF is somewhere in the first 1024 bytes.

    The Acrobat application provides no ability to language translation.
    If you locate the language for the applications from the OS, MS Office, Acrobat, etc. to the desired language try again.
    Alternative: transfer a copy of the content in a web site based in PTE (Bing or Google offers a free service).
    Transfer the output in a word-processing program that is localized in the appropriate language.
