I see a mix of lines with and without ^M after running the commands So your input file is using Unix line-endings and apparently the command you run copies some of the input with those (LF) line-endings to the output and also outputs some of its own text with its own (CRLF) line-endings line-endings, hence a mix of the two in the output. You can probably circumvent the problem either by tweaking the command so that it uses LF line-endings for its own text, or changing the input so that it uses CRLF line-endings. Stefan
