Don't understand what you are asking, but when you cat a file it just DISPLAYS whats in it.

For example if you cat helloworld.txt

it will display

HELLO WORLD!

And that is what you will see.bash-3.2# echo hello > outside
bash-3.2# cat outside
hello
bash-3.2# cat > inside < outside
bash-3.2# cat inside
hello
