Send string to stdin

Question

Is there a way to effectively do this in bash:

/my/bash/script < echo \'This string will be sent to stdin.\'

I\'m aware that I could pip

Answer 1

You were close

/my/bash/script <<< 'This string will be sent to stdin.'

For multiline input, here-docs are suited:

/my/bash/script <

Edit To the comments:

To achieve binary input, say

xxd -r -p <

If you substitute cat for /my/bash/script (or indeed drop the last pipe), this prints:

Or, if you wanted something a little more geeky:
