Using a pipe with find .... -exec ...
Hi,

I am trying to run the following command:
find ./ -name lea_01.001 -print -exec CEOS {} | grep -i radio \;

where "CEOS" converts the lea_01.001 files to text, then grep looks for the string "radio." This however does not work as I have constructed it.

This command mostly works, but the grep filters out the full path of the current file being used (from -print). But I need that output too.
find ./ -name lea_01.001 -print -exec CEOS {} \; | grep -i radio

Any clues how to print the full path information and the grep only on the output of CEOS (rather than the output of find?)

zgrep

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep	options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
