Finding executable files using ls and grep

Do you need to use ls? You can use find to do the same:

find . -maxdepth 1 -perm -111 -type f

will return all executable files in the current directory. Remove the -maxdepth flag to traverse all child directories.

You could try this terribleness but it might match files that contain strings that look like permissions.

ls -lsa | grep -E "[d\-](([rw\-]{2})x){1,3}"
