[GNU grep]

find /path_to_tree -type f | grep -E "^.{109}"

What do you mean? What commands are you trying? I'm able to print them
using, for example, find.

(sorry if lines wrap)

$ find -type f
../1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/file1.txt
../1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/1234567890/file2.txt

All the commands are tested with bash and GNU tools, so they may use
nonstandard features. I try to mention when something is nonstandard (if
I'm aware of that), but I may miss something. Corrections are welcome.

Is there a simple way to print out all the files in a directory tree
that have pathname + filename > 108 characters?

That does it. Thanks.

Ok sorry, then I misunderstood your request. I thought you were having
problems displaying those files.

I'm trying to identify path/filenames that are too long for the old
Joliet file system. The code supplied by Cyrus Kriticos does this.

Note that this is standard POSIX and Unix, not only GNU.

See also

find /path_to_tree -type f | awk 'length > 108'

All those solutions assume that file names don't contain newline
characters.

But it does not find empty directories with pathname > 108 characters.
