How to find patterns across multiple lines using grep?

Question

I want to find files that have \"abc\" AND \"efg\" in that order, and those two strings are on different lines in that file. Eg: a file with content:

blah bl

#!/bin/bash
shopt -s nullglob
for file in *
do
 r=$(awk '/abc/{f=1}/efg/{g=1;exit}END{print g&&f ?1:0}' file)
 if [ "$r" -eq 1 ];then
   echo "Found pattern in $file"
 else
   echo "not found"
 fi
done
