Please how can I with bash read a string for hashing with digest, from stdin?
bash-3.00$ digest -v -a md5 "This is an input string."
digest: can not open input file This is an input string.
I did observe that the redirect operators are not displayed in the preview, so
I attach my example file.

Please how can I with bash read a string for hashing with digest, from stdin?

bash-3.00$ digest -v -a md5 < "This is an input string."
bash: This is an input string.: No such file or directory
bash-3.00$ echo "This is an input string." | digest -v -a md5 -
digest: can not open input file -
bash-3.00$ echo "This is an input string." | digest -v -a md5 <
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
In this example
gunzip < vrb-0.5.0.tar.gz | tar -xpf -
piping is done with redirect operators, and the last hyphen means stdin.
