If some people are reporting that it works on Linux, it's likely to be caused by the different line endings used by Windows.
At the end of a line:
- Windows uses carriage return, line feed (CRLF,
\r\n
) - Linux uses line feed (LF,
\n
) - Mac uses carriage return (CR,
\r
)
These are leftovers from ye olden days of computing, which, if you're really interested in it, you can read more about on Wikipedia's newline article.
Anyway, if you use a more powerful text editor on your Windows computer, many will have the option of converting line-breaks to the different styles. Just off the top of my head, Notepad++ and Komodo Edit are two free editors which can do this.
