hey guys,
ok right now I am trying to enter some input, for example, 'cd'. right now it will get and print the current directory I am in. but when I enter anything, it exits out of my prog. I dont know if my input is being tokenized properly or what. So I am basically just working on the cd input right now. I want it to change my directory but its not doing anything! Also the reason I have my while loop commented out (in main) is because it stays in the infinite loop and doesnt do anything. So I just dont know whats going on! I have been working on this for a week and I just cant get it!
Please help! Thanks!

Please try again."); //} //closes while loop //execvp(command[0], command); //will execute the commands return 0; }
SO I just tried something, and it seems to me that my string isnt even being tokenized......I think thats where the prob is!
