You want to use less to search through fi ve different fi les, looking for a particular sequence of words. The obvious solution is to use less as follows:

less file1 file2 file3 file4 file5

However, this requires you to keep track of and manipulate fi ve different fi les. Instead you might fi rst combine the fi les into one large file:

 cat file1 file2 file3 file4 file5 | less

Will this make your job easier or harder? Why?
