When hydrochloric acid is added to iron filingsthen hydrogen gas and iron chloride are produced.

You can see it from following reaction:

Fe + 2HCl ------> FeCl₂ + H₂

From above you can see iron displaces hydrogen from HCl because it lies above hydrogen in the reactivity series, and FeCl₂ is formed with the evolution of hydrogen gas.
