For historical reasons, Windows and most other operating systems, including Linux and OS X, disagree on the convention that is used to denote the end of a line in a plain text ASCII file. Text files prepared in a Windows environment will therefore have an additional invisible "carriage return" character at the end of each line and this can cause certain problems when reading this file in a Linux environment. For this reason you should either consider creating and editing your text files on the cluster itself using standard Linux text editors like emacs, vim and nano or, if you prefer Windows, to then use the command <tt>dos2unix <filename></tt> on the cluster login node to convert the line endings of your file to the appropriate convention.
