I am trying to implement a filter that displays only files with a combined path and filename length exceeding the maximum allowed by Windows 10. I think it's 260 characters.  
This is what I have tried, but it doesn't work.

$Len(%\_folderpath%&%\_filename%) GREATER 260

Any Help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Try  
"$Len(%\_folderpath%%\_filename%)" GREATER 255
