Newlines detected in data

I'm getting a warning that says "Newlines detected in data, output file might not be readable by other tools."  What causes this, and is it anything to worry about?

Hi @oracleoftemple 

 

It means there are new lines somewhere in your dataset. Depending on your data this may or may not be okay.

I guess my question was - if you have done nothing that would have added new lines, why would this message appear?

Then the new-lines must be in the data originally, if you profile it in a browse tool you should be able to figure out where they are. It also might not be a problem at all depending on your use case.
