Piping echo output to another echo

Question

Is there any way to pipe echo output to another echo and slice it without using variable?

For example: This can be done without using pipe

var="heyyy hello there HRU?"
echo "${var:11}"

But we don't use var while using pipe...

echo "heyyy hello there HRU?" | echo "${?:11}"

How to capture the output from previous command and slice it as we use do using variable? Is there any way to do it?

I know it can be done using multiple commands like "sed", "awk", "cut", etc., but I just wanted to know if there any way to do it with echo.

Answer 1

Capture it in a variable.

echo "heyyy hello there HRU?" | { var=$(cat); echo "${var:11}"; }

Answer 2

echo doesn't use stdin !. It can just print arguments given to it. So what you're trying won't work in short.

echo -- write arguments to the standard output
