Title: cat commands
Post by: colin on April 27, 2017, 07:39:31 AM

When i want to open more than one file i just type: cat file1 file2 press Enter and the files appear one on top of the other. Is there a way to put a space between these files?  Thanks

Have used <(echo) like so, :~$ cat file1 <(echo) file2 and it does the job.
