While displaying more than one file with more, I don't want to display filenames along with the contents.

I only need to display the contents of the file. Is there any way to escape the filenames?

    @Rob Really? cat concatenates the files. What else do you suggest?

  • I don't know how I missed the "Don't display filenames". I think I opened it in a new tab, forgot about it, came back to it and skimmed.

-1

more "filename with space" "filenames" filename\ also\ with\ spaces and.one.more.file is all you need, but you might consider using less instead of more. They say less is more.

  • +1 for suggesting the right tool for the job. Especially when the tool is as widespread as less.

  • Missed the "Don't want to display filename" in the question. Not sure how.
