if you use print, then you get the whole path starting from ./ and egrep
will count the number of the chars in the path instead of just the
filename.

if you use print, you can use egrep ".*/.{201,239}$" and have it count
correctly and give you the full path name and not match more than it
should.


also out of curiosity, why use -name '*' instead of -type f
