Can you find a record lenght of a file using MORE?

Using more to look at a file, is there a way to find what the record lenght is. I need to try and find out how many entries in my file, I do that by using
"awk ' END { print NR }' filename", but now I need to know the record lenght of each entry. Anyway of doing this.

Something like this ?
awk '{print NR, length($0)}' filename

Hope This Helps, PH.
