Nope.  I'll try another way

           +------------------+   +-------------+
--(TCP)-->+ socket    stdout +---+ stdin       |
           |        nc        |   |        grep |
<--(TCP)--| socket     stdin +---+ stdout      |
           +------------------+   +-------------+

This example is back to the functionality that (x)inetd would provide.

The idea being that grep* would act on the data that came in the TCP 
connection and send the matching lines out the same TCP connection.

*grep is just a hypothetical example here.
