Line Exception using Example Hash md5

[williamdotp]

First time using hashcat and i wanted to see how it works but when i run the line :
hashcat64.exe -m0 -a3 -o cracked.txt hash.txt

i get the error:


Hash 'hash.txt': Line-length exception

No hashes loaded.

all that is in the file hash.txt is the example hash but nothing happens


Thanks for any help
