Redirect String to STDIN

Looking for the proper way to bring a string into the stdin. I have a string that I would like to grep and awk. Each have to be run separately, not piped together. So far, the only way I could figure out how is to echo the string and pipe it:

echo 'This is my string' | grep my

Help us to help you : please give more clue and give a representative sample of
input and expected output

another way:

grep my < <(echo 'This is my string')
grep <pattern>

It will wait for standard input to grep
