get all files with datatype not equal to data.

[PALL]

hi,

i am in a situation where i has to grep all the files with datatype other than filetype = data..

right now i am doing grep files other than ASCII by using following..

for file in `directory | grep ASCII | cut -f1 -d":"`
do
..something..
done;

this i am doing because once i decrypt file type will be changed from one datatype to other datatype.


Can anyone tell me how to solve my issue.

Thanks
