i think utf (8/16) format files doenst have the default end-of-line identifier in such a case, the usual tools applied to other text files cannot be used with.

Try running a wc -l on the file and post the output of number of lines, for pure utf formatted files it would return a zero; for such situations customized codes need to be written.
