Grep and find combination

Hello All,

I'm trying the following:

Code:

find . -name "*" -exec grep -ln "IsAlpha" {} \;

It gives me file names only (having string "IsAlpha"), I want to get line numbers also, something like this: test 1: Line 52
test 1: Line 95 etc

Is it possible to obtain using grep & find only.
