LOOK FOR A STRING

Sometimes you look for a string 
in files on your directory using
grep, but you end up getting funny 
characters on your terminal. This 
is really annoyance, since sometimes 
you have to reset your terminal if 
you are using X. What you can do, 
you can grep only those files that in 
text by doing the following command:

grep "hello world" `find ./ -name "*" -print -exec file {} \; |
grep text | cut -d ':' -f 1`

Sure you have to change the "hello World" 
to the string what you are looking for.
