I assume this is because of the Mac {CR} usage vs. line feed.
Is there a programmatic way to use for line to interpret the carriage
return character as a new line? Otherwise, what are the easiest ways
to be able to force a replacement of the {CR} character w/ the line
feed? I've attempted the method using <i>tr</i>, but receive an
illegal byte sequence error when running the tr '\r' '\n' < file1.txt
file2.txt command on my Mac.

Show code, inputs, and output and explain what you expected.
This could be one of dozens of problems.
Open the file with mode 'U' for universal newline support ('\n', '\r' or
'\r\n').
A good guess of what might be going wrong.
Another could be using read.
