How to split using empty new line as separator

[kumaran]

Hi,

I working on script to parse a powershell output.

I need to splint the value using empty new line as a separator.

I tried different options but nothing is working.

Please help

Can you do it using a regular expression?

var s = "This is a test\nLine 1\n\nLine 2\n\n\nLine3";
var sArray = s.split(/\n{2,}/);
// sArray = ["This is a test\nLine 1", "Line 2", "Line 3"];

Also, just to clarify, if you're using Powershell, you might be getting back \r\n instead of just \n.   If so, just change your regular expression from:

/\n{2,}/

to:

/(\r\n){2,}/

To be honest, I haven't played with Powershell that much, so I'm not sure whether it uses old DOS-style line endings or UNIX-style line endings.   Since it's Windows, I suspect the former.   If one doesn't work, try the other.

In line w/ Dennis' response:

....<script> + \n + <script>...

The '\n\ should give you a line break

Thanks for your response.

I made this to work, I splitted using the first string after the new line.

It worked now..

Thanks again
