I take it you want to run the pipeline `command1 | command2' on each file.

I don't think you can do this with find's own command line; the easiest way
is probably to write a little script and execute that instead:

myscript:
========
#! /bin/bash
if [ -z "$1" ]
then
	echo No parameter
	exit 1
fi
command1 $1 | command2



chmod a+x myscript



find <some path> -exec myscript {} \;
