How do I include a pipe | in my linux find -exec command?

Question

This isn't working. Can this be done in find? Or do I need to xargs?

find -name 'file_*' -follow -type f -exec zcat {} | agrep -dEOE 'grep' ;

Answer 1

the solution is easy: execute via sh

... -exec sh -c "zcat {} | agrep -dEOE 'grep' " ;
