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?)
