grep string and output filename
Hello,

I have over 200 files and some of them have the string like "John price $200". I would like to grep the string. Then output the filename which found the string.

I have the following script, but it ONLY output the string
echo Please input list file name:
read listn
for file in `cat $listn.txt`
do
cat $file |grep "John price $200"
done

expect output:
filename: XXXXXX
found string: John price $200


thx,
happyv

BP_SEARCH2TRIBE(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				       BP_SEARCH2TRIBE(1p)

NAME

       search2tribe - Turn SearchIO parseable reports(s) into TRIBE matrix

SYNOPSIS

       Usage:
	 search2tribe [-o outputfile] [-f reportformat] [-w/--weight] file1 file2 ..

DESCRIPTION

       This script is probably too slow for most people's uses.  It is better to use something like scripts/searchio/fastam9_to_table, -m 9 output
       from BLAST, or the blast2table from the BLAST O'Reilly book to get a tabular output from these programs and then feed the table into MCL
       with the mcxdeblast script and the --m9 option.

       This script will turn a protein Search report (BLASTP, FASTP, SSEARCH) into a Markov Matrix for TribeMCL clustering.

       The options are:

	  -o filename	       - the output filename [default STDOUT]
	  -f format	       - search result format (blast, fasta)
				 (ssearch is fasta format). default is blast.
	  -w or --weight VALUE - Change the default weight for E(0.0) hits
				 to VALUE (default=200 (i.e. 1e-200) )
	  -h		       - this help menu

       Additionally specify the filenames you want to process on the command-line.  If no files are specified then STDIN input is assumed.  You
       specify this by doing: search2tribe < file1 file2 file3
