[TxMt] Re: quick way to find longest line in file?

[Matt Neuburg]

Why not simply do a Find in the document for a regular expression of this sort:

^.{100,}

...that is to say, "a line longer than 100 characters"? For 100, substitute any number you think might be exceeded by just this one excessive line. m.

This isn't a show stopper of course, but it would be nice to have a command of the form "select the longest line in the file and scroll to show it".  Is there such a thing?  If not, is there an easy way to add on a user tool to do the trick?
