Swift version: 5.6
Swift’s strings have their lines separated by the \n
character, which is a line break on Unix operating systems. Using that plus the components(separatedBy:)
method, you can get an array of all the lines in a string like this:
let lines = str.components(separatedBy: "\n")
If you intend to use that regularly, consider making an extension on String
like this one:
extension String {
var lines: [String] {
return self.components(separatedBy: "\n")
}
}
