What about a simple

   for %%i in (%2) do find %1 %%i

and redirect the output wherever you want it.  Note the example above would
be in a batch file.  I usually just type it out and replace %1 and %2 with
the string and filespec, and remove one of the '%' from "%%i" giving "%i":

   for %i in (*.c) do find "stdio.h" %i >>find.out

The ">>" must be used rather than ">" or each find execution will overwrite
the file.
