title: Missing newline character?
body: <p>I've copied a file from HDFS into my local file system (all on RH linux). However, after the copy, if I <code>cat</code> the file, I see the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[me@ac12 ~]$ cat file_copy
  0|name|string
  1|phone|string
  2|age|string[me@ac12 ~]$
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I expected was this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[me@ac12 ~]$ cat file_copy
  0|name|string
  1|phone|string
  2|age|string
  [me@ac12 ~]$
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>You can see that a newline seems to be missing in the first cat, and the shell prompt is on the same line as the last line. Why would this be and how can I diagnose the issue?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I can't edit the output file (well, maybe I could but I really don't want to - I'd rather fix the problem at the source). I want to know why there is no newline character..</p>
