find and grep should be able to do this for you

Code:
find . -name \*cpp -exec grep '#include "' {} /dev/null \;

the pattern is surrounded by single quotes and ends with a double quote
also the /dev/null added to the grep command line will make grep print the filename when it finds the pattern (the find command will run the grep command once for each file it finds so grep will only see one filename without this added)

an alternative would be:

Code:
find . -name \*cpp |grep '#include "' /dev/null

which will be more efficient if there is more than one cpp file as only one instance of grep will be started, though if there are lots of cpp files then you may have to pipe it into xargs first.

zgrep

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep	options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
