Your file has DOS line endings \r\n

. Here's the relevant section from the bash wiki tag :

Make sure your script or data has DOS style trailing characters
- Use cat -v yourfile
  
  or echo "$yourvariable" | cat -v
  
  .
  
  DOS carriage returns will appear as ^M
  
  after each line.
  
  If you find them, remove them using dos2unix
  
  (aka fromdos
  
  ) ortr -d '\r'
