Two Commands

Hi there,

I have a directory that contains 100's of text files prefixed with the letter ab(they are email headers in the files) and I want to search for a pattern within these files (a certain subject or domain etc).The way I would do it is to use :-

cat ab* | grep -i <search pattern>

Is this the best way to do it or can anyone suggest alternatives?

Ideally so I knew which file the pattern was in I'd like to have it display something like:-

<final name> <search pattern>

Many thanks,
Hayez. Smilie
