What is the best way to iterate over the lines of a Java String?

Question

Currently I\'m using something like :

String[]lines = textContent.split(System.getProperty(\"line.separator\"));
for(String tmpLine : lines){
   //do somethi         


        

Answer 1

You could use String.indexOf()/String.substring()

String separator = System.getProperty("line.separator");
int index = textContent.indexOf(separator);

while (index > 0)
{
  int nextIndex = textContent.indexOf(separator, index + separator.length());
  String line = textContent.substring(index + separator.length(), nextIndex);

  // do something with line.
}
