    Lines in a text file with mre than 160characters.

    Hi,

    My company is starting a new subscription service and I'm in charge of the data collection. Trouble is, since these will be SMS messages, the have to be within the limit of 160 characters.

    So, I can do it manually(get the message and run it through our company's web based SMS management system character-number checker) which is handy except that I have over 300 lines of messages and I can only check one at a time through the system and that'll take me 600 minutes.

    So, can someone introduce me to a script or function I can use to do this checking via the linux command line??
