I'd like to find human-readable files on my Linux machine without a file extension constraint. Those files should be of human sensing files like text, configuration, HTML, source-code etc. files. Is there a way to filter and locate?
Use:
find /dir/to/search -type f | xargs file | grep text
find
will give you a list of files.
xargs file
will run the file
command on each of the lines from the piped input.
