For each element in an array the splitlines() function is used to return a list of the lines in the element, breaking at line boundaries.
This function calls the str.splitlines for every element in the given array.
Syntax of splitlines():
The syntax required to use this function is as follows:
numpy.char.splitlines(a, keepends=None)The above syntax indicates that splitlines() function takes two parameters.
Parameters:
let us discuss the above-given parameters of this function and these are as follows:
- a This parameter represents the input array of strings.
- keepends This is an optional argument having boolean values. If we want to include line breaks, then we can use this parameter, by setting its value as True.
Returned Values:
This function will return the array of List objects.
Example 1: Without keepends parameter
The code snippet is as follows where we will use splitlines() function:
import numpy as np
string1 = "Shishir Kant Singh\n is a best teacher \n to learn programming coding"
out = np.char.splitlines(string1)
print("After applying splitlines() function:")
print(out)Output:
After applying splitlines() function: ['Shishir Kant Singh ', ' is a best teacher ', ' to learn programming coding']
Example 2: With keepends parameter
import numpy as np
x = np.char.splitlines('The quick brown \rfox jumps over \rthe lazy dog.', keepends=False)
print(x) Output:
['The quick brown ', 'fox jumps over ', 'the lazy dog.']
