Just gotta put it in a loop now (all modifications to stdout):
- removes \r which probably only shows up as something like \r\n, so only \n is needed
- removes "[start of line]>>[numbers][end of line]", doesn't count as greentext
- (I thought of this solution ~12 hours ago, now doing it) reduces all lines which match "[start of line][zero or more whitespace characters]>[zero or more characters][newline]" to a null byte.
- search for lines containing one or more null bytes, print the length of those lines with the biggest number at the top and only get that number
