Function Inputs

Sometimes, a function will expect to get the name of a file, which it will then open and work on the contents. The best example is probably grep. If you want to use a given function, with options, on the content of a variable instead, you can do it with:

function options <<< $var

ex.: grep whatYouAreLookingFor <<< $variableName
