Important overlooked point in the above examples.

The following 2 examples count expanded tabs

<pre><code> wc -L &lt;"${SourceFile}" 
# or
 expand --tabs=8 "${SourceFile}" | awk '{ if (length($0) &gt; max) {max = length($0)} } END { print max }'
</code></pre>

The following 2 count non expaned tabs.

<pre><code> expand --tabs=1 "${SourceFile}" | wc -L 
# or
 awk '{ if (length($0) &gt; max) {max = length($0)} } END { print max }' "${SourceFile}"
</code></pre>

so 

<pre><code> Expanded nonexpanded

Looks all the answer do not give the line number of the longest line. Following command can give the line number and roughly length:

Prints the length, line number, and contents of the longest line

Prints a sorted list of all lines, with line numbers and lengths

<code>.</code> is the concatenation operator - it is used here after length() 
<code>$.</code> is the current line number 
<code>$_</code> is the current line

If you are using MacOS and are getting this error:
<code>wc: illegal option -- L</code> you dont need to install GNU sipmly do this.

If all you want to do is just get the count of the characters in the longest line of the file and you are using OS X run:

<code>awk '{print length}' "$file_name" | sort -rn | head -1</code>

Something like this;

<code>echo "The longest line in the file $file_name has $(awk '{print length}' "$file_name" | sort -rn | head -1) characters"</code>

Outputs:

<code>The longest line in the file my_file has 117 characters</code>

I'm looking for a simple way to find the length of the longest line in a file. Ideally, it would be a simple bash shell command instead of a script.

Longest line in a file

MacOS

我正在寻找一种简单的方法来找到文件中最长行的长度。理想情况下，它应该是一个简单的bash shell命令，而不是脚本。
