Should I end my text/script files with a newline? > **Possible Duplicate:** > What's the point in adding a new line to the end of a file? What is considered better behaviour: to leave the last letter of the last line to be the last byte of a file, or to press `Enter` at the end to let there be a `lf`? Why?

(Copied from my comment on the question, as requested.)

See Why should files end with a newline? - Stack Overflow. The "TL;DR": POSIX says so, and it's pretty logical to have a line end in and end-of-line character.

See the linked Stack Overflow question for practical consequences.
