METAFLAC - cue-sheet error "line too long"

This thing nearly costs me my nerves. Here's the situation:

I have a Live-DJ-Mix Album (Thunderdome '96-Dance Or Die)

Each DJ has it's own track with several subtracks (which are also documented on the cd back cover)

Since i know there is a way to import a cue sheet into the meta-data of a FLAC file i wanted to do that for every single file with manually generated cue-sheets.
I've done this thing only once for a whole mix-CD (not for a single track) and it worked fine 

Here's the data (cue-sheet) i made:

Track 3 -> Neophyte In The Mix [03_Neophyte_In The Mix.flac]

Code: [Select]
PERFORMER "VA"
TITLE "Thunderdome '96 - Dance Or Die"
FILE "03.wav" WAVE
  TRACK 01 AUDIO
    TITLE "The Thunder Anthem"
    PERFORMER "DJ Weirdo"
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
  TRACK 02 AUDIO
    TITLE "Rockin' Your Body"
    PERFORMER "Dr. Phil Omanski & Jeremy"
    INDEX 01 08:43:60
  TRACK 03 AUDIO
    TITLE "Young Birds"
    PERFORMER "DJ Weirdo & Dr. Phil Omanski"
    INDEX 01 11:55:60
  TRACK 04 AUDIO
    TITLE "Take It Easy"
    PERFORMER "Lords Of The Underworld"
    INDEX 01 15:41:6
  TRACK 05 AUDIO
    TITLE "Rip Shit Up"
    PERFORMER "DJ Mongoose"
    INDEX 01 18:49:30


The handling of the cue-sheet in foobar2k works just perfect. I can listen to every single subtrack with the right meta-data. But i just couldn't IMPORT this cue-sheet into the FLAC file itself 

This is the command line i used:

Code: [Select]
metaflac --import-cue-sheet-from="03_Neophyte_In The Mix.cue" "03_Neophyte_In The Mix.flac"


And this is is the resulting error:
Code: [Select]
03_Neophyte_In The Mix.flac: ERROR: while parsing cuesheet "03_Neophyte_In The Mix.cue" on line 23: line too long


I tried some of the other files too.. It was always the same error - always the last line. I just can't figure out what the problem is and really need help on this one. I struggle with this problem for more than 2 days now.
I tried to delete the PERFORMER, TITLE lines in the cue-sheet.. still the same problem, the only thing different is the line number (but it's still the LAST one).

Is it possible, that you only can import cue-sheets to a single file ripped from a whole CD, or am i missing something there?

Help would be REALLY appreciated

My System: (if this helps solving the problem)

Win2000 Professional [SP4]
FLAC 1.1.0 / EAC 0.95
Foobar2000 0.82 (with foo_cue_ex)

Kind regards,

Daniel

Your cuesheet is probably missing a newline character at the end of the last line.

Thanks darelon

I never took in consideration to ADD something since it was "too long", so i always removed things.

But the NEWLINE (pressing enter ) at the end of the file indeed solved the problem.

You're my hero! ^^

Kind regards,
