Check all files in directories for string and remove.. possible?

Say I am in /var/adm/bin and I want to search through all the various scripts and such in that directory for a string, say, xxx@yyy.com

I want to find every file with that in there and replace it with a single space.

Is that possible?

Or, is it possible to search every file and get a list of what files have that in there?

If I do a more * | grep xxx@yyy.com I get a list of all the lines with that in there but no reference to the file name.

Anyone have any ideas?
