Cat of rows

Hello, I'm starting from the scratch with Unix, and I was wondering if you could give me an answer for this problem...

I've got a column with different names of files, something like:
./file1
./file2
...
Now, I would like to show the content of each file. The column with the names comes from a pipeline, but I think that doesn't matter in this case.

Of course I know about "cat", but if I type "....commands wich generate the above column.... | cat " the result is just the same.

Thanks in advance.

P.D. I know it's easy, but I'm so noob Smilie

NAME
cp - copy SYNOPSIS
cp [ -ip ] file1 file2 cp [ -ipr ] file ... directory DESCRIPTION
File1 is copied onto file2. By default, the mode and owner of file2 are preserved if it already existed; otherwise the mode of the source file modified by the current umask(2) is used. The -p option causes cp to attempt to preserve (duplicate) in its copies the modification times and modes of the source files, ignoring the present umask. In the second form, one or more files are copied into the directory with their original file-names. Cp refuses to copy a file onto itself. If the -i option is specified, cp will prompt the user with the name of the file whenever the copy will cause an old file to be overwrit- ten. An answer of 'y' will cause cp to continue. Any other answer will prevent it from overwriting the file. If the -r option is specified and any of the source files are directories, cp copies each subtree rooted at that name; in this case the destination must be a directory. SEE ALSO
