Hi all.
This is my first post here, and i need urgent help with a programming assignment.
I am working on an assignment which requires me to build a simple shell. My shell must handle simple commands with arguements and ones with piping and I/O redirection.
The problem is i have no idea how to implement this redirection.
To further explain, my program reads the user's input such as: "ls -1 > text.txt" and does what a normal shell does. The problem is redirecting one's output as an input and the reverse. I have to execute two of the commands by forking two children and execve-ing. Then i need to do the redirection thing.
I have no idea were to start. I suppose it has with piping? I'm not sure.

Thanks alot for your help!

Ermm, I'm not asking you to do my homework for me. I'm asking for an advice on how to start.
The link you gave me is all bash code. I need to write my stuff in C.
