Top Forums Programming When I am writing my own interpreter... Post 302142037 by Legend986 on Wednesday 24th of October 2007 03:29:15 AM

Hmm... you're method seems more logical... But I think I've done the same thing, the only difference being that I've written a few extra lines of code Smilie I know it was a mistake that was supposed to have been rectified in the beginning but I've already written my parser and it gives me something like:

argv[0] = ls
argv[1] = -la
argv[2] = |
argv[3] = wc
argv[4] = |
argv[5] = wc

for an input like "ls -la | wc | wc"

I am able to get it to work for "ls -la | wc" but the next thing is what is puzzling me... Is it possible using the architecture that I've written?

And yeah, thanks for the tip on redirection... Will attempt that tomorrow Smilie
