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

Question

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

use BufferedReader with StringReader argument. BufferedReader has a method readLine() so you can read your string line by line.

    StringReader reader = new StringReader(myBigTextString);
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(reader);
    String line;
    while((line=br.readLine())!=null)
    {
        //do what you want
    }
