using find

I am at a point in my script where i need to use the find command. However i am not to familar with using it yet. Hopefully this will take care of that aparently with the correct option find can be used to list “plain” files, as distinct from directories. Something about it looking into files and taking a guess at what type of file it is. Well, i want it to display for me all the files with their sizes and for it to tell me which ones are text files.

Can anyone help me figure out how to use the find command?

thanks
