When you copied thisfile.txt to Linux, did you convert the \r\n of Windows into \n of Linux?

Try running in the debugger, or add some debug prints

        while(farm_file.is_open() && output_file.is_open() && std::getline(farm_file, line))
        {
            std::cout << "DEBUG: line==" << line << "==" << std::endl;

Does the line you see make sense with the regex patterns you're using?

No, I did not convert the \r\n to \n. I didn't even think of that. How can I change that?

When I did the debug statement, the line did print out. However the regex did not match it for some reason. I was able to rewrite the code in a new document and it worked. I'm not exactly sure why the original file did not work.

There's a tag line somewhere that goes

I have a problem.
I know, I'll use regular expressions to solve it.
Now you have TWO problems.

It's either called tofrodos or dos2unix or something like that.
