Sometimes you'll end up with carriage returns on each line in a file originally created on a DOS/Windows system, or filenames with spaces, tab, or other control characters in them, but you can't see them typically. The cat command provides three useful options -v, -e, and -t that will let you understand these invisible characters -v (displays non-printing characters) -e (prints a "$" at the end of each line to indicate a NL character) -t (prints "^I" for each Tab in the file) cat -vet filename |more
