regex - Find all lines with a length greater than N -

this first question here. beginning powershell.

let's have text file , want match lines length greater 10 characters. made simple regex.

$reg = "^\w{0,10}$"

and use notmatch operator.

$mytextfile | select-string -notmatch $reg

this not working. tried

$reg = "^[a-za-z0-9]{0,10}$"

but not working either.

any clue me? lot!

you don't need regex match. this:

get-content $mytextfile | ?{$_.length -gt 10}

if want regex, dot matches character. work...

get-content $mytextfile | select-string -notmatch '^.{0,10}$'

...but simpler:

get-content $mytextfile | select-string '.{11,}'
