Best way to split string into lines

by

  • If it looks ugly, just remove the unnecessary ToCharArray call.

  • If you want to split by either \n or \r, you’ve got two options:

    • Use an array literal – but this will give you empty lines for Windows-style line endings \r\n:

      var result = text.Split(new [] { '\r', '\n' });

    • Use a regular expression, as indicated by Bart:

      var result = Regex.Split(text, "\r\n|\r|\n");

  • If you want to preserve empty lines, why do you explicitly tell C# to throw them away? (StringSplitOptions parameter) – use StringSplitOptions.None instead.
