How to run local host machine script with arguments in a docker container

I'm trying to run a local script in my docker host on a docker container.

I know it is possible to run it using: docker exec -i mycontainer bash < mylocal.sh, but how do I pass arguments to the mylocal.sh using this method.

Say I want to pass the script contents plus an argument like mylocal.sh argument1

I don't really want to copy the files over from host to container.

You can pass arguments to bash script using pipe by using -s option. 

docker exec -i mycontainer bash -s argument1 argument2 < mylocal.sh
