Number of files containing a given string
I want to show text files that contain a string and to count them. My code is:
grep -l "string" file1.txt file2.txt | wc -l
It shows the number of files that contain "string". How can I show the names of the files too?

How about teeing it?
grep -l 'string' file1.txt file2.txt | tee >(wc -l)
