Moving data string from a jtextarea into an array

Question

i was looking for some advice. how would i be able to take chunks of text on a paragraph by paragraph basis and enter them into an array. which would result in paragraph1 in array 0, and so on. is this possible to do? i have never really used straing arrays before, and if anyone knows of any online tutorials it would be a great help
thank u

here you go, forgive the gui, very sloppy looking, press the Click me button to store the jtextarea data into the array and show output button to see what the value stored in the array is. there are 2 classes:
class MyMain {
      public static void main(String args[]){
          MyMain main = new MyMain();
          main.createIt();
      public void createIt() {
          MyFrame frame = new MyFrame();
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
class MyFrame extends JFrame {
      String[] myString = new String[1];
      JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea();
      JButton myButton = new JButton("Click me");
      JButton outButton = new JButton("Show output");
      MyFrame() {
          myButton.addActionListener(new ButtonListener());
          outButton.addActionListener(new OutListener());
          getContentPane().setLayout(new GridLayout(1,3));
          getContentPane().add(myButton);
          getContentPane().add(textArea);
          getContentPane().add(outButton);
          setVisible(true);
      class ButtonListener implements ActionListener{
          public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
              myString[0] = textArea.getText();
      class OutListener implements ActionListener{
          public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
              System.out.println(myString[0]);
}
