#include <file.au3>
Dim $aRecords
If _FileReadToArray("all.lst",$aRecords) < 8 Then
   _FileWriteFromArray("all3.lst",$aRecords)
   Exit
EndIf

this just copys the file but what i want it to do is only copy if the line has 8 or more characters

If you meant copy the whole file if it has 8 or more lines:

#include <file.au3>

Dim $aRecords
_FileReadToArray("all.lst", $aRecords)
If @error = 0 And $aRecords[0] >= 8 Then _FileWriteFromArray("all3.lst", $aRecords, 1)

If you meant copy each line, if it has 8 or more characters:

#include <file.au3>

Dim $aRecords
_FileReadToArray("all.lst", $aRecords)
If @error = 0 Then
    For $n = 1 To $aRecords[0]
        If StringLen($aRecords[$n]) >= 8 Then FileWriteLine("all3.lst", $aRecords[$n])
    Next
EndIf

Else explain what you really meant.

Then PsaltyDS' second example should be what you need.
