Python String | splitlines ()

Michael Zippo 18.07.2021

Syntax :

string.splitlines((keepends>)

Parameters :

keepends (optional) : When set to True line breaks are included in the resulting list.

This can be a number , specifying the position of line break or, can be any Unicode characters , like “”, “”, “”, etc as boundaries for strings.

Returned value:

 Returns a  list  of the lines in the string, breaking at line boundaries.

The code below shows an illustration of the splitline () method.

Code # 1

# Python code to illustrate splitline ()

string = "Welcome eve ryone to the world of Geeks Python.Engineering "

# Parameters not passed

print (string.splitlines ())

# Specified number passed

print (string.splitlines ( 0 ))

# True was passed

print (string.splitlines ( True ))

Output:

 [’Welcome everyone to’,’ the world of Geeks’, ’GeeksforGeeks’] [’ Welcome everyone to’, ’the world of Geeks’,’ GeeksforGeeks’] [’Welcome everyone to’, ’the world of Geeks ’,’ GeeksforGeeks’]

Code # 2

# Python illustration code splitline ()

string = "Cat Bat Sat Mat Xat Eat "

# Parameters not passed

print (string.splitlines ())

# splitlines () in one line

print ( ’India Japan USA UK Canada’ . splitlines ())

Output:

 [’Cat’,’ Bat’, ’ Sat’, ’Mat’,’ Xat’, ’Eat’] [’ India’, ’Japan’,’ USA’, ’UK’,’ Canada’]

Practical Application:
In this code we will understand how to use the splitlines () concept to calculate the length of each word in a line.

       # Python code to get the length of each word  
   def   Cal_len (string):  
   
   # Using splitlines () split into list  
   li   =   string.splitlines () 
     print   (li) 
    
   # Calculate length each word  
   l   =   [  len   (element)   for   element   in   li]  
   return   l 
   
  Driver code  
   string   =   "Welcome to GeeksforGeeks"  
   print   (Cal_len (string))

Output:

 [’Welcome’,’ to’, ’GeeksforGeeks’] [7, 2, 13]
