splitlines¶

Description¶

Returns a list of the lines in the string, breaking at line boundaries.

Syntax¶

str. splitlines([keepends])

keepends: Optional. When set to True line breaks are included in the resulting list.

Return Value¶

list

Time Complexity¶

#TODO

Remarks¶

This method uses the universal newlines approach to splitting lines.

Unlike split() when a delimiter string sep is given, this method returns an empty list for the empty string, and a terminal line break does not result in an extra line.

Example¶

>>> "AB\nCD\n".splitlines()
['AB', 'CD']
>>> "AB\nCD\n".splitlines(True)
['AB\n', 'CD\n']
>>> "\n\n".splitlines()
['', '']
>>> "".splitlines()
[]
