Mike,
You are right. Some files on our server which I believe are plain text files
turn out to be "data", based on what "file" command shows. Weird! These
files were moved from AIX system to the current Red Hat system, could this
have something to with the file type?
Thank you.

If you run 'find . -type f -name '*out*' -print0 | xargs -0 file'
I bet some of the files you are calling "plain text files" are not
"ASCII text files", which is what the above is looking for. For
example, a file 'file' reports as "ISO-8859 English text" will
almost certainly meet *your* critera for "plain text", but doesn't
include "ASCII" anywhere in the output of 'file'.
