Hi, i’m using C language,  
I tested the cat command and i’t working as intended.

$ cat “/tmp/qux/‘f 3’” “/tmp/qux/‘f \73’” “/tmp/qux/'f \26'”  
remote: [your-program] cat: ‘"/tmp/qux/’'‘f 3’'‘"’: No such file or directory  
remote: [tester::#LE5] Output does not match expected value.

even though my\_shell:  
 ./my\_shell  
$ cat “/tmp/bar/‘f 27’” “/tmp/bar/‘f \8’” “/tmp/bar/'f \44'”  
pineapple raspberry.grape apple.apple raspberry.$ (i made files and folder with the same name and tested them and it’s working 100%)

what could be wrong ?

Hey @MossaJehad, could you [upload your code to GitHub](https://docs.codecrafters.io/features/publish-to-github) and share the link? It will be much easier to debug if I can run it directly.
