You could do this if you don't want to create a file:
Code:
fname=`find . -type f -exec file {} \; | grep 'ASCII' | awk -F\: '{print $1}'`
echo "$fname" | while read line
do
 ls -l "$line"
done
Use the -F\: with awk, and double quotes on vars to catch file names with spaces etc... Not recommended if you have a LARGE number of files to sort through, but work well for most apps.
