When I open the original file in a UNIX text editor I see:

Code:

Distributeur
Alliance Vivafilm
Origine
...

Don't edit text files for UNIX in notepad. If you'd been editing them in UNIX you'd have seen those characters; they're what Notepad inserts at the beginning of Unicode text files to warn itself that they're unicode(UTF8 in this case), and that's what's messing up your comparison.

Here's an improvement on dos2unix for that, stripping out those faulty characters and windows' carriage returns at the same time:

Code:

tr -d '[\r\357\273\277]' < wingarbage.txt > actualtext.txt
