pipe output to script as command line argument

i want to redirect output of one command as the command line argument of another script

for example, say i would run this command:

Code:

 
find . -xdev -type f -size +4096 -exec ls -al {} \;

i wan to be able to do something like:

Code:

echo +4096 | find . -xdev -type f -size ****** -exec ls -al {} \;

Is this possible in ksh?
