Python: Split a multiline string into a list of lines

Python String: Exercise-99 with Solution

Write a Python program to split a multi-line string into a list of lines.

  • Use str.split() and '\n' to match line breaks and create a list.
  • str.splitlines() provides similar functionality to this snippet.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Define a function to split a string into a list of lines based on newline characters
def split_lines(s):
    # Use the split() method with '\n' as the delimiter to create a list of lines
    return s.split('\n')

# Print a message indicating the original string
print("Original string:")
# Print a multiline string for demonstration purposes
print("This\nis a\nmultiline\nstring.\n")

# Print a message indicating the splitting of the multiline string into a list of lines
print("Split the said multiline string into a list of lines:")
# Call the function to split the multiline string and print the result
print(split_lines('This\nis a\nmultiline\nstring.\n')) 

Sample Output:

Original string:
This
is a
multiline
string.

Split the said multiline string into a list of lines:
['This', 'is a', 'multiline', 'string.', '']
