Thank you for answering.

The file does not include any CR or LF but I have noticed that is saved in
UTF-8. Does it has anything to do with the problem?

If I read the file with a program with the code below the result is the same
as the command line but, if I take the content of a file and put it in const
unsigned char data[] it does not.

My program will generate a string that has to be signed (md5 and RSA key).
Which method will assure that I have a valid signed string: 
Write that string to a file and read it back to sign it? 
Or pass the string as an argument to a function and sign it? ( this is I
would like to do but digest is different)

TIA
