So, I had an assignment for one of my unix class, we've been working on regular expressions. It took me a while, and I finally found a solution for this problem, but I can't help feeling there must be a more elegant and efficient way to do this...

Problem statement:

Display the full file name (including the full path) and file size of all files whose name (excluding the path) is longer than 10 characters.

Any of you fellow computer people have a better way?
