[OS X TeX] Strange behavior of tabular / \hline

Hi,

I spent the last 2 hours trying to figure out how to properly include  
lines from an external file in a tabular environment:

This is a sample .tex file:
- ----
%!TEX TS-program = pdflatex
\documentclass{article}

\newcommand{\anentry}[1]{\hline #1 \tabularnewline}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{|c|}
\hline
test \\
\hline
test \\
\input{testinp.tex}
\hline
\end{tabular}

\end{document}
- ----
and this is the input file (testinp.tex):
- ----
\anentry{test1}
\anentry{test2}
- ----

The problem is related to the \hline defined in \anentry; I end up  
with the error:

You can't use `\hrule' here except with leaders.
\hline ->\noalign {\ifnum 0=`}\fi \hrule
                                          \@height \arrayrulewidth  
\futurelet...

and in the table I get the word "height" instead of a line.
If I replace the \input{...} by the file's contents, it works, of  
course.
I also tried \tabularnewline from the array package instead of \\, no  
success.

(Just for completeness: the main goal is to generate a kind of .toc  
file with automatically generated entries to be displayed inside a  
tabular environment)

Does anyone have an idea how to do this right?
