Java - split string by new line character

String example = "...";

​

// split string by new line - \n

String[] split1 = example.split("\n");

​

// split string by regex - \\r?\\n

// \\r? - this is optional

// so this regex will support most important platforms:

// - Windows - \r\n

// - UNIX / Linux / MacOS - \n

String[] split2 = example.split("\\r?\\n");
