splitlines( num=string.count('\n'))
Description
The method splitlines() returns a list with all the lines in string, optionally including the line breaks (if num is
supplied and is true)
Syntax
Following is the syntax for splitlines() method:
str.splitlines( num=string.count('\n'))
Parameters
• num -- This is any number, if present then it would be assumed that line breaks need to be included in the
lines.
Return Value
This method returns true if found matching string otherwise false.
Example
The following example shows the usage of splitlines() method.
#!/usr/bin/python
str = "Line1-a b c d e f\nLine2- a b c\n\nLine4- a b c d";
print str.splitlines( );
print str.splitlines( 0 );
print str.splitlines( 3 );
print str.splitlines( 4 );
print str.splitlines( 5 );
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result:
['Line1-a b c d e f', 'Line2- a b c', '', 'Line4- a b c d']
['Line1-a b c d e f', 'Line2- a b c', '', 'Line4- a b c d']
['Line1-a b c d e f\n', 'Line2- a b c\n', '\n', 'Line4- a b c d']
['Line1-a b c d e f\n', 'Line2- a b c\n', '\n', 'Line4- a b c d']
['Line1-a b c d e f\n', 'Line2- a b c\n', '\n', 'Line4- a b c d']
startswith(str, beg=0,end=len(string))
