The file was written on one operating system such as MS-Windows and you are trying to view it on another os such as *nix. The only way to remove those rectangles is to translate the file from MS-Windows to *nix. MS-Windows uses two bytes as a line terminator -- "\r\n" while *nix and MAC only use one byte. Many file transfer programs will make that translation for you, but you can also do it yourself by writing a program that reads the file then remove the \r and finally rewrite it.
