One might guess that the file you are processing has DOS line terminators (<carriage-return><newline>) instead of the expected UNIX line terminators (<newline>) and that the last line in your output is overwriting earlier lines in your output because of the embedded <carriage-return> characters.
You didn't mention which code suggestion you are using. Please try it again and pipe the output produced through od as shown below and show us the output (in CODE tags):
If that shows some carriage returns in the output (displayed as \r) we can suggest ways to get around that problem if you tell us which code you are using.
