What is the diference between text files?

Hello World! Smilie

I did one shell script to read one txt file containing one phone numbers list and perform one search of numbers into a couple of log files.

When I use the file called "qq.txt" the script works correctly but using file called "MSISDN_Deactivation_Pending_Todos.txt" numers aren't processed.

I opened both files using vi editor and executed ":set list" to check for hiden characters but I can not see any unmormal character.

Kindly some one should tell me what is the difference between both archives ("qq.txt" & "MSISDN_Deactivation_Pending_Todos.txt")?

Thank you in advance
