That command will permit us to determine if your problem comes from your data file.

An example:
Code:
$ od -c datas.txt
0000000    E   s   c   a   p   e     033       a   n   d       C   R    
0000020   \r        i   n   s   i   d   e  \n
0000031
$

Jean-Pierre.
When the OP is not willing to help us, there is nothing much we can do. Anyway for the benefit of the OP, try running, dos2unix on the names.txt. That may resolve the problem.

EVOLVOTRON_MUTATE(1)						    Evolvotron						      EVOLVOTRON_MUTATE(1)

NAME

       evolvotron_mutate - Render an evolvotron function tree to an image.

SYNOPSIS

       evolvotron_mutate < function_in.xml > function_out.xml

       evolvotron_mutate -g > function_out.xml

DESCRIPTION

       evolvotron_mutate either mutates an existing image function (saved to an XML file), or (with the -g option) creates a new image function.

       The mutation parameters and function weightings are the same as used by evolvotron in its default reset state.

       See the evolvotron user manual (accessible from the evolvotron application's Help menu) for more information on image functions.

COMMANDLINE OPTIONS

       -g   Specifies that no function should be read from standard input.  The output function is created at random.

EXAMPLES

       evolvotron_mutate -g | tee function0.xml | evolvotron_render function0.ppm

       evolvtron_mutate < function0.xml > function1.xml
