Implement pipes in a C shell (Unix)

Question

Basically, I created a shell using standard POSIX commands, and I want to be able to implement Piping. Right now it is processing commands correctly and can do background processing with &. But I need to be able to use the handset | and → also. For example, something like this: cat file1 file2 -> file3 cat file1 file2 | More more file1 | grep stuff

Here is the code I have. I also want to AVOID calling "SYSTEM". I know that U needs to use dup2, but the way I made my code is a bit strange, so I hope someone tells me if it is possible to implement pipes in this code? thank you I know that dup2 is used, but also im def. confused how to implement → how WELL how |
