Thanks for sending the files. Indeed, they have non-printable characters in them, meaning they are not in pure ASCII text format.
You can use file_tool to fix them, for example. But it would be good to figure out editing methods that will not lead to this. It can cause trouble in scripts, too.
For now, you can test a file using something like:
file_tool -test -infile TIMING_FILE
Add something like -prefix to fix it. For example, using tcsh, not bash:
mkdir fixed.files
foreach file ( sub*.txt )
file_tool -infile $file -test -prefix fixed.files/$file
end
Does that seem reasonable?
