Hi all

find pdf files with names 11 characters long
and copy the files to a selected location.
sadly the find file in automator do not contain this Boolean.
thanks for any help or ponters
 
Easily done from the shell (in Terminal for instance, or with the AppleScript "do shell script" command.)

find /Volumes/MyHardDrive -name '???????.pdf'
