search for files excluding binary files

Hi All,

I need a solution on my following find command

find ./.. -name '*.file' -print

BTW This gives me the output as belows

./rtlsim/test/ADCONV0/infile/ad0_dagctst.file
./rtlsim/test/ADCONV0/user_command.file
./rtlsim/test/ADCONV0/simv.daidir/scsim.db.dir/scsim.db.file
./rtlsim/test/DACONV0/infile/da0_txosc_swap.file
./rtlsim/test/DACONV0/infile/da0_txosc_trim.file
./rtlsim/test/DACONV0/simv.daidir/scsim.db.dir/scsim.db.file
./rtlsim/test/RFREG/infile/rrg_sdtest_001.file
./rtlsim/test/RFREG/infile/rrg_test01.file
./rtlsim/test/RFREG/simv.daidir/scsim.db.dir/scsim.db.file
./rtlsim/test/lvdsr0/infile/lr0_sleep_002.file
./rtlsim/test/lvdsr0/user_command.file
./rtlsim/test/lvdsr0/simv.daidir/scsim.db.dir/scsim.db.file
./rtlsim/test/lvdst0/infile/lt0_LoopBack.file


My problem I dont want to search that file scsim.db.file which is a binary file but the other files except that scsim.db.file are text file.

Is there any way to search for files excluding binary files .

or pls help me to search the file with having extension .file but it should not include any other files like scsim.db.file

Something like this

Code:
$ find . -name "*.file" -type f -print | xargs file | grep ASCII | cut -d: -f1
