Preserving line breaks with an inputted String
I'm working on an app for a school project that involves taking a students schedule and outputting the information. The schedule is formatted in this way:
199S1-001
AP Eng Lit & Comp I
Teacher name
214
The easiest way from my perspective would be, since the information is already divided into lines, to find where in the string there is a new line (n) and then separate each line into an array. I'm just not sure how I could find line breaks in a string like this.
