You know, you're calling an extra echo command and doing a conditional
check (&&) when all you need to do is tell grep to include the filename
in its printout.  (See the -H switch in man grep.)  No need to call any
other utilities or spawn any other processes.

There's no easy quick way out, we're gonna have to
live through our whole lives, win, lose, or draw.
