grep commands???

At the risk of going majorly off topic....

I need to be able to find all occurences of the string "{0, '\0'}" from
many files. Within the files these are entries such as;

VARCHAR GmtDay1[LEN_DATE] = {0,'\0'};
VARCHAR GmtDay2[LEN_DATE] = {0,'\0'};

I have been successfully been using 'find' with it's numerous swiches and
getting find to call 'grep'. I have been trying to use grep to pick up the
"{0, '\0'}" string. However, grep seems to interpret the '\' and the '{',
'}' as special characters. Can anyone please tell me how I de-limit these so
that I can pull out rows that satisfy this criteria from a file.
