What is the best way to convert a string separated by return chars into a List?

Question

I need to often convert a \"string block\" (a string containing return characters, e.g. from a file or a TextBox) into List

Answer 1

ou can use RegEx.Split to split directly using the Enviroment.NewLine.

public static List ConvertBlockToLines(this string block)
{
   return Regex.Split(block, Environment.NewLine).ToList();
}
