Thank you for the answers.

It seemed that I had \r\n at the end of the line and I replaced it with \n but the outputs are still the same.
This is what I get when I write
Code:
head file | od -bc

(the lines are actually longer so this is adapted to my sample file)

Code:
0000000 147 156 141 141 143 137 144 141 147 137 163 165 142 155 151 164
          a   b   c   _   b   l   a   _   s   u   b   m   i   t
0000020 040 055 147 167 145 145 153 040 070 060 062 040 012 147 156 141
              -   d   e   f       8   0   0      \n   a   b   c
0000040 141 143 137 144 141 147 137 163 165 142 155 151 164 040 055 147
          _   b   l   a  etc.

ISGRAPH(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 						ISGRAPH(3)

NAME
isgraph -- printing character test (space character exclusive) LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS
#include <ctype.h> int isgraph(int c); DESCRIPTION
The isgraph() function tests for any printing character except space (' ') and other locale-specific space-like characters. The value of the argument must be representable as an unsigned char or the value of EOF. In the ASCII character set, this includes the following characters (preceded by their numeric values, in octal): 041 ``!'' 042 ``"'' 043 ``#'' 044 ``$'' 045 ``%'' 046 ``&'' 047 ``''' 050 ``('' 051 ``)'' 052 ``*'' 053 ``+'' 054 ``,'' 055 ``-'' 056 ``.'' 057 ``/'' 060 ``0'' 061 ``1'' 062 ``2'' 063 ``3'' 064 ``4'' 065 ``5'' 066 ``6'' 067 ``7'' 070 ``8'' 071 ``9'' 072 ``:'' 073 ``;'' 074 ``<'' 075 ``='' 076 ``>'' 077 ``?'' 100 ``@'' 101 ``A'' 102 ``B'' 103 ``C'' 104 ``D'' 105 ``E'' 106 ``F'' 107 ``G'' 110 ``H'' 111 ``I'' 112 ``J'' 113 ``K'' 114 ``L'' 115 ``M'' 116 ``N'' 117 ``O'' 120 ``P'' 121 ``Q'' 122 ``R'' 123 ``S'' 124 ``T'' 125 ``U'' 126 ``V'' 127 ``W'' 130 ``X'' 131 ``Y'' 132 ``Z'' 133 ``['' 134 ``'' 135 ``]'' 136 ``^'' 137 ``_'' 140 ```'' 141 ``a'' 142 ``b'' 143 ``c'' 144 ``d'' 145 ``e'' 146 ``f'' 147 ``g'' 150 ``h'' 151 ``i'' 152 ``j'' 153 ``k'' 154 ``l'' 155 ``m'' 156 ``n'' 157 ``o'' 160 ``p'' 161 ``q'' 162 ``r'' 163 ``s'' 164 ``t'' 165 ``u'' 166 ``v'' 167 ``w'' 170 ``x'' 171 ``y'' 172 ``z'' 173 ``{'' 174 ``|'' 175 ``}'' 176 ``~'' RETURN VALUES
The isgraph() function returns zero if the character tests false and returns non-zero if the character tests true. COMPATIBILITY
The 4.4BSD extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the unsigned char type in locales with large character sets is considered obsolete and may not be supported in future releases. The iswgraph() function should be used instead. SEE ALSO
ctype(3), isalnum_l(3), iswgraph(3), ascii(7) STANDARDS
The isgraph() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (``ISO C90''). BSD
