The splitlines() method splits the string at line breaks and returns a list of lines in the string.
The syntax of splitlines() is:
str.splitlines([keepends])
1. splitlines() Parameters
splitlines() takes maximum of 1 parameter.
keepends (optional) – If keepends is provided and True, line breaks are also included in items of the list.
By default, the line breaks are not included.
2. Return Value from splitlines()
splitlines() returns a list of lines in the string.
If there are not line break characters, it returns a list with a single item (a single line).
splitlines() splits on the following line boundaries:
| Representation | Description |
|---|---|
| \n | Line Feed |
| \r | Carriage Return |
| \r\n | Carriage Return + Line Feed |
| \v or \x0b | Line Tabulation |
| \f or \x0c | Form Feed |
| \x1c | File Separator |
| \x1d | Group Separator |
| \x1e | Record Separator |
| \x85 | Next Line (C1 Control Code) |
| \u2028 | Line Separator |
| \u2029 | Paragraph Separator |
3. Example: How splitlines() works?
grocery = 'Milk\nChicken\r\nBread\rButter' print(grocery.splitlines()) print(grocery.splitlines(True)) grocery = 'Milk Chicken Bread Butter' print(grocery.splitlines())
Output
['Milk', 'Chicken', 'Bread', 'Butter'] ['Milk\n', 'Chicken\r\n', 'Bread\r', 'Butter'] ['Milk Chicken Bread Butter']
