Search in a list of files

Question
I have a huge list of C source and header files, actually an autogenerated "cscope.files" file.
Is there a way to search for a string(not a C symbol) in all those files?
The files are distributed in a huge networked filesystem and I do not want to grep recursively in the root of that system.
I use Red Hat Enterprise Linux and gvim(+cscope) for my development. Any vim or python(2.3) or shell solution is OK.
Solution
find . -name '*.c'|xargs grep "some string"
