pipe to shell

Hello,

is it possible to pipe to a-shell? I like to do something like:

_cat foo.txt | awk -F, '{whatever awk command}' | /bin/zsh_

That is generating a shell command sequence with awk based on a file and executing this commands then in a-shell?

I tried to get the shell identifier using _echo $0_ but this lead to nothing. Thanks a lot for your efforts!
