How to iterate over every line of a string in Python?

Question

The title says it all. Maybe string.split('\n') and then iterate the resulting list?

Answer 1

If text (var) contains a string with ‘\n’ and other line breakes and you want to get each line you can get it also with:

for line in text.splitlines():
print(line)
#—————————
there is also a nice feature by adding True inside the round brackets in the method call. It keeps the separators. See samples:

text = 'to be \nor not to be \u2028that is the question'
lst = text.splitlines()
# result:
['to be ', 'or not to be ', 'that is the question']

lst1 = text.splitlines(True)
# result:
['to be \n', 'or not to be \u2028', 'that is the question']
