I don’t think the characters should be there in any case.

hello dave, Try to use vi or vim and you will you see ^M special characters. This kind of special characters come from text editor like notepad.

The special character ^M comes from Windows Editors in general. Windows mostly needs both CR and LF special characters to display a new line. In your case, gwaa, the linux command dos2unix might be helpful.
