A simple question with an easy answer: how many characters long is your terminal in full screen? I am working on a torrent searching script, and I am interested in the statistical max dimensions of a terminal. Thanks in advance.

Mine is 226... Often when writing code people will adhere to max line widths such as 80 or 100. However, if you are writing a script, why not just get the width in the script and render based on that? For example stty size, tput cols or echo "$COLUMNS".
