using grep and print filename

Hi,

I have a question on bash. Basically I would like to print a file name using bash. I am actually trying to grep a particular character in sequential files.
I have alot files such that a.txt, b.txt,c.txt...etc.
If I found a certain character, I would print that particular filename.

I used something like

Code:

cat *.txt|grep -w 56|awk '{
if($1 -eq "bla1")
then 
  print the filename (e.g a.txt)

Currently, I try to print some simple echo inside but i could not see any output.

Please help!.Thanks.

-Jason
