How to break up a String into multiple array Strings?

Question

How do I break up a string into a bunch of String arrays after the line ends.
For example,
JTextArea area = new JTextArea();
this is a string that i have entered in the area declared above
now here is another sting that is in the same string/text area
this is all being placed in one text field
Sting input = area.getText();
now how do I break that up into an array of strings after each line ends?

Answer 1

Ok I tested it out and it works.
So for future refrence to those that come by the same problem I had:
To split up a string when using a textfield or textarea so that you can store seperate sections of the string based on sperate lines, using the following code:
String text = area.getText() ;
String[] lines = text.split("\n") ;
This will store the following
this is all one
entered string
into two arrays
