Search Files by File Name Length

VX Search provides the ability to search files by the length of the file name allowing one to identify files with long file names, which may cause compatibility problems with some old software programs not supporting long file names. In order to search files by the length of the file name, open the file search dialog and add the 'File Name Length' search rule, select an appropriate operator and enter the number of file name characters to search for.
