Hi there! Thanks for replying.

pbpaste is a native command of MacOS (testing on a Mac at the moment). It pastes the contents you have in the clipboard.

If you have X, you can use this command instead

Code:
alias pbpaste='xsel --clipboard --output'

My input file is Unix style. I really don't know why this behavior is happening

EDIT: So I found out the script works correctly if the Description example has more than one line. However, if it's only one line, it doesn't. Is there any logic that I'm missing here?

Description field is not stored as a variable
