Read String line by line

Question

Given a string that isn\'t too long, what is the best way to read it line by line?

I know you can do:

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new          


        

Answer 1

Using Apache Commons IOUtils you can do this nicely via

List lines = IOUtils.readLines(new StringReader(string));

It's not doing anything clever, but it's nice and compact. It'll handle streams as well, and you can get a LineIterator too if you prefer.
