Removing tokens from cmd line
Hi everyone.
I am trying to develop my own shell,and i am in the part of redirection.
let's say the user gives as input
cat test > test2
in the array of arguments i want to keep only arg[0]=cat,arg[1]=test.
">" token is not an input file so cat cannot worka and test2 is output.how can i remove > and < from the array in which i keep the input that the user gives?
//sorry for my english...

Code:
par="$@"

pos=`echo $par | awk '{ for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) if($i==">" || $i=="<") print i }'`

will giv u the position of < or > .
