In Mac text files the end of a line is signalled by the CR or Carriage Return character (ASCII code 13). In Windows files in general and specifically text files (extension .txt) the end of a line is signalled by CR/LF which is the Carriage Return character (ASCII 13) directly followed by the Line Feed character (ASCII 10).
