file content to standard output from a script

hi folks

how do i output contents of file in standard output.

in my script, i say

x=`cat filename'
echo $x

below is the actual file

***********
asda afdf fdf sdf dsfsdfsd fds dsfdfsdfsdg ssgd sgdg
sdfsdgfsdg dgfd gsfd gs sdg sfdg s

in my script, i am trying to output the contents of file to standard output
i am getting it as

filea fileb filec filed .profile
asda afdf fdf sdf dsfsdfsd fds dsfdfsdfsdg ssgd sgdg sdfsdgfsdg dgfd gsfd gs sdg sfdg s

there is no newline character and * is being replaced by each single file in the directory
