At a first step,to determine the reason,can you show us the output of
a problematic file,plus a working file with:

cat -A file |tail -n 2


Here goes:

$ cat -A unixfilewithfilledlastline.txt | tail -n 2
this is a unixfile$
the final line is not empty
$ cat -A unixfilewithemptylastline.txt | tail -n 2
this is a unixfile$
the final line is empty$

(The empty line right above this line is also part of the output.)
$ cat -A dosfilewithfilledlastline.txt | tail -n 2
this is a dosfile^M$
the final line is not empty
$ cat -A dosfilewithemptylastline.txt | tail -n 2
this is a dosfile^M$
the final line is empty^M$

(The empty line right above this line is also part of the output.)


That way,I believe Warren himself can find the solution not only for
this problem but for the others will come.


Sure thing.
I can see a pattern emerging, lets see what I can come up with (if you don't
beat me to it)


Cheers, Warren
