<p>hi</p>
<p>A couple of years ago (see below) I was having problems reading
in GMSH files using DMPlexCreateFromFile(), if the MSH file didn't
have a newline on the end.</p>
<p>It was fixed at the time, but the problem seems to be happening
again with PETSc 3.11.1.</p>
<p>I've attached an example mesh which no longer works (unless you
add a newline on the end of it). The error message is below.</p>

I don't think it is a DOS file- it was created on a
Linux machine, emacs doesn't identify it as DOS, and I
tried running dos2unix on it to make sure, but that made
no difference.<br>
<br>
What does make a difference is manually adding a newline
on the end. However, that isn't super convenient when
these files are being created automatically via scripts.<br>
<br>
Would it be possible to make DMPlexCreateGmsh() a bit
more robust about the line ending at the end of the
file? Gmsh itself isn't bothered by it.</div>

<div>Yes, that was lazy. The fix is in next.</div>
