well, even a single command is going to require some work, as I assume you'll need to output the results of each individual file to a separate file.

furthermore, your loop will need to be a little more complex because you'll have to iterate over the whole grep result and keep track of the file on the current line, the line number, etc.

I think it would look something like this...

Code:
cd mydir
grep "searchtext" * > results.txt
COUNT=1
OLD_FNAME=""
NEW_FNAME=""
while read line 
do
  NEW_FNAME=`echo $line|cut -f1 -d':'`
  if [ $OLD_FNAME = $NEW_FNAME ]
  then
    if [ $COUNT -gt 10 ]
    then
        # output the line, presumably without the filename
    fi 
    COUNT=$COUNT+1
  else
    OLD_FNAME = $NEW_FNAME
    COUNT=1
  fi
done < results.txt
