Addendum: iirc (again please correct me if I am wrong) unix file names may contain (at least in theory) any byte except 2F (the slash) and the null byte. So if your text files might contain arbitrary file names there may be (at least in theory) a (admittedly very small) chance that such a file name actually might contain any control character except the null byte.
