Some more powershell:
"Timestamp " + (get-date).ToString()
"This job started at " + (get-date).ToString() | out-file
message-longpaths.txt
"Long directory and file names - 250 characters or more`n`n`n" | out-file
-append message-longpaths.txt
Erase longpaths-home.txt
Get-childitem -recurse j:,k:,l: |? {$_.FullName.Length -gt 250} | out-file
-append longpaths-home.txt
Etc.

Subject: Re: Windirstat
Kevin,
FWIW, here are the scripts that I use to find long file/path
specifications - I use 'dir /b /s' to generate a file listing, then
use vbscript to massage the output to find files longer than 250
characters, and mail it to myself. A little bit of vbscripting should
make this work to your purposes.
----------Begin CMD script, which calls a VBScript----------
@echo off
REM
REM Get the time and date
REM
for /F %%i in ('date /t') do ( set _DateStart=%%i)
for /F %%i in ('time /t') do ( set _TimeStart=%%i)
echo Date is %_DateStart% and Time is %_TimeStart%
REM
REM Begin the text of the email to be sent
REM
echo This job started at %_TimeStart% on %_DateStart% >
c:\BatchFiles\logs\message-longpaths.txt
del c:\BatchFiles\logs\BigLines250.txt
Echo Long directory and file names - 250 characters or more >>
c:\BatchFiles\logs\message-longpaths.txt
Echo "" >> c:\BatchFiles\logs\message-longpaths.txt
Echo "" >> c:\BatchFiles\logs\message-longpaths.txt
Echo "" >> c:\BatchFiles\logs\message-longpaths.txt
dir j:\ /b /s > c:\BatchFiles\logs\LongPaths-Home.txt
dir k:\ /b /s >> c:\BatchFiles\logs\LongPaths-Home.txt
dir l:\ /b /s >> c:\BatchFiles\logs\LongPaths-Home.txt
REM
REM I touch the file to create it - it's easier than using VBScript to
create it.
