Question

My string variable contains a String, each on a different line. How do I find the number of new lines in it, and then each word separated by a , delimiter on a particular string line? The variable content is something like below

null37,Abhishek,ARS,b,ABC,Development,2011-05-30 00:00:00.0,[e-mail]
null38,Abhishek,SAS,c,ABC,Development,2011-05-30 00:00:00.0,[e-mail]
null39,Abhishek,DGV,a,ABC,Production,2011-05-30 00:00:00.0,[e-mail]

Edited:

I tried this

String xmlstr="""null37,Abhishek,ARS,b,ABC,Development,2011-05-30 00:00:00.0,[e-mail]
null38,Abhishek,SAS,c,ABC,Development,2011-05-30 00:00:00.0,[e-mail]
null39,Abhishek,DGV,a,ABC,Production,2011-05-30 00:00:00.0,[e-mail]"""

String[] splitStr = xmlstr.split('\n');
for(String str : splitStr)
{
    String splitted = str.split(',');
    println splitted
}

I am getting something unknown,

[Ljava.lang.String;@148bd3
[Ljava.lang.String;@a4e743
[Ljava.lang.String;@4aeb52

To get the number of newlines do

int newLines = myString.split("\\r?\\n").length;

To get each word separated by a comma do

String[] words = myString.split(",");
