Split String by New Line

The Split String by New Line step divides the source string at every new line, producing a list of strings as output. This step takes the new line character as the delimiter to split the string. It is essential to note that this functionality requires multi-line text input. The string will only be split if multiple lines are present, which can happen in two scenarios:

1. When the text is entered through a text area in Forms.
2. When using the merge text editor input type on the Create Data step.

Examples

1. Input through a Text Area in Forms: When entering text in a text area in a Form, press Enter to create a new line and then select Done. This action sends the text as a single string with newline characters to the Split String by  New Line step. As a result, the Split String by New Line step will divide this input string from the Form's text area into three distinct strings, as shown in this example.
   
2. Merge Text Editor Input: When text is entered in the Merge text editor, it is sent as one continuous string to the Split String by New Line step. If the text contains newline characters, this step will divide the single string into separate strings, as shown in this example.
