1. You should put single quotes around '*.html'
2. -i for 'grep -i '04' makes no sense, -i is ignore case.
3. this might have a side effect you don't expect.  the final grep will 
match both data from the files as well as file names, for example:

verified.html will match if it contained 04
foo.html will match if it contains 04 and verified on the same line
