Finding a character in first line of a record

HI,

I am pretty new to Unix scripting. I will need help in Finding a character in first line of a file or a set of files.

The scenario is as follows:

Lets consider a set of files which is having a character "ID"(without quotes) in the first line of each file.I need to find this character in the first line of each file and if the result of this is positive then i have to say echo"ID found in file" otherwise echo "ID not found in the file"

Can anyone help me with this. I will be very Gratefull

Thanks,
Sandy
