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)
