tool for filtering out tweets >140 characters from a .txt file

heya!

is there something like this?

how can i filter out lines with more than 140 characters, without doing it manually, the file has over 60,000 lines..

thanks in advance guys!

greets

i'm sure there are more sophisticated ways to do this, but here's one solution:
- sort the lines by length: 1. you need to put a line into the mix which is exactly 141-character-long, type zero as the first character of the line
why you need to do this?
2. you need to identify this line later to separate the lines which are longer than 140 characters from the lines which are shorter than 140 characters/exactly 140 characters
3. Order the lines "Alphabetically / Numerically": hopefully your 141-character-long line starting with zero will be at the top
4. then hit sort by "Length"
5. Ctrl+F: type/copy-paste your line starting with zero
6. below your line starting with zero, you'll find the lines which are 140 characters long or shorter

1)Go to any webpage
2) Write the following in your browser: ('PRHASE TO SHRINK'.substring(0,# OF CHARACTERS)) i.e ('dshjdshjds'.substring(0,5))
3)Hit enter
4) You will see the shrunk line in your own browser, you can automate it woth imacros or yahoo pipe

thank you guys.

i also used textmechanic for some other tasks, seems like an excellent tool.
