Let's see some examples of splitlines() method to understand it's functionality.

Python String splitlines() Method Example 1

# Python splitlines() method example
# Variable declaration
str = "Java is a programming language"
# Calling function
str2 = str.splitlines() # returns a list having single element
print(str)
print(str2)
str = "Java \n is a programming \r language"
str2 = str.splitlines() # returns a list having splitted elements
print(str2)

Output:

Java is a programming language
['Java is a programming language']
['Java ', ' is a programming ', ' language']

Python String splitlines() Method Example 2

Passing True to the method which causes to include line breakers into the list of string. See the example below.

# Python splitlines() method example
# Variable declaration
str = "Java \n is a programming \r language"
# Calling function
str2 = str.splitlines(True) # returns a list having splitted elements
print(str2)

Output:

['Java \n', ' is a programming \r', ' language']

Python String splitlines() Method Example 3

# Python splitlines() method example
# Variable declaration
str = "Java \n is a programming \r language for \r\n  software development"
# Calling function
str2 = str.splitlines() # returns a list having splitted elements
# Displaying result
print(str2)
# getting back list to string
print("".join(str2)) # now it does not contain any line breaker character

Output:

['Java ', ' is a programming ', ' language for ', '  software development']
Java  is a programming  language for   software development
