Ah, I fixed it!
Seeing I couldn't get scrapebox working, I thought I would just use the moz api example client to check the moz metrics. So, I transferred the txt file from my scrapebox machine to the machine that had php on it.
When I looked at the text file in my text editor, it had some weird characters at the top. So the file actually wasn't a plain ascii text file but instead a utf-16 text file.
So then I copied all the URLs in to a plain ascii text file, copied it back to scrapebox and import in to page auth plugin and it worked.
I think it was the vanity name checker that created these text files so maybe there is a problem with that. Anyway just make sure your text files really are just plain ascii files or you'll run in to issues.
Sorry to be dumb, any more ELI5 ways to follow your steps?
Sorry! I'm not technologically retarded but you lost me at the other machine with .php, had a look at the test file on GitHub, not sure how to use my list to implement in that..
Thanks in advance! I also haven't used vanity name checker ever...
