RE: Searching for lines longer than x characters possible?

[Bingham, Jay]

You are talking about emacs aren't you?  Of course it is possible. :)

I looked at the other suggestions and found them lacking.  So I wrote a little 
function that puts the cursor (point) on the desired column of any line longer 
that the desired maximum column.  
Here it is:
 <<find-long-line.el>> 

Hope you enjoy it.
