call man find:
great, its exactly what we need.
finding a non-executable:
the ! is for negation:
to search for executables:
so, to find all non-executable files in all directories we call find ! -executable or find \! -executable:
now, to find byte size:
and to use with the “file” command for finding the human-readable files:
combining all these:
$ find ! -executable -size 1033c -exec file {} \; | grep 'ASCII'
| pipes the output of find to the grep command, which looks for a specific pattern (in this case, its “ASCII”).
