lines(...) public

Returns an enumerator that gives each line in the string. If a block is given, it iterates over each line in the string.

"foo\nbar\n".lines.to_a   #=> ["foo\n", "bar\n"]
"foo\nb ar".lines.sort    #=> ["b ar", "foo\n"]

/*
 *  call-seq:
 *     str.each(separator=$/) {|substr| block }        => str
 *     str.each_line(separator=$/) {|substr| block }   => str
 *  
 *  Splits <i>str</i> using the supplied parameter as the record separator
 *  (<code>$/</code> by default), passing each substring in turn to the supplied
 *  block. If a zero-length record separator is supplied, the string is split
 *  into paragraphs delimited by multiple successive newlines.

 *     print "Example three\n"
 *     "hello\n\n\nworld".each('') {|s| p s}
