Determining if a filename is greater than X characters

[hokiegal99]

Thanks for the tips. I got it to work using this:

for root, dirs, files in os.walk(setpath):
		old_fname = files
		new_fname = old_fname[0][:27]
		print old_fname
		print new_fname

The problem with this approach is that it only gets the first filename 
in the directory. I tried doing "old_fname[:][:27]", but that doesn't do 
it. I need to learn more about lists.

Thanks!!!
