pipex

Description

Pipex is a function that replicates the behaviour of a pipe in a Unix system.

This should behave the same way:

./pipex infile cat "wc -l" outfile

< infile cat | wc -l > outfile

Bonus

It supports multiple pipes and the use of << and >> when the first parameter is here_doc

This should behave the same way:

./pipex infile cat "wc -l" "grep hello" outfile

< infile cat | wc -l | grep hello > outfile

This should also behave the same way:

./pipex heredoc a cat "grep hello" "wc -l" outfile

cat << a | grep hello | wc -l > outfile
