In bash, something like this? File names go on command line.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
 
ans=y
 
while [[ "$ans" == '[Yy]*' ]]
 do
  echo "Enter pattern: \c"
  read ptn
  echo 'Searching . . . \c'
  lc=$( grep -E "$ptn" "$@" | tee /tmp/patgrep.$$ | wc -l )
  echo "$lc lines found."
 
  if [ $lc != 0 ]
   then
    sleep 6
    vi /tmp/patgrep.$$
   fi
 
  echo 'Another (y/n)? \c'
  read ans
 done
