Because Windows, Mac and Linux all have different ways of marking line
endings.

If your file ONLY contains Mac Line Endings try the following

tr '\r' '\n' < in_file.txt > out_file.txt

(where in_file.txt is the file with Mac line endings and out_file.txt is
the file you want to save to. DO NOT make these the same file!).
