DOS format UNIX format error

when you use text file in both window and UNIX, linux

it could cause file format error because they use different newline


unix  <LF>          (each line ends with LF).
dos  <CR><LF> (each line ends with CR and LF).
mac  <CR>         (each line ends with CR).

CR(Carriage Return) , 0x0D
LF(Line Feed) , 0x0A


so if you use text file, you should check the text file has right format for the OS

you can change file format with text-editer (ex: Ultraedit)
