Redirect stdin to pipe (popen) C++

Question

I hope that this is not a stupid question. Is it possible to redirect stdin to a FILE?

FILE* somePipe = _popen("SOME_FILE", "r");

Can I assign somePipe to stdin?

Try using freopen():

 FILE* somePipe = freopen("SOME_FILE", "r", stdin);

 FILE* inPipe   freopen("newstdin", "r", stdin);
 FILE* outPipe  freopen("newstdout", "w", stdout);
