You can use Regex.Split()[^] for this.

Example:

C#

string[] lines = Regex.Split(txtAddress.Text, "\r\n");

Split the TextBox's Text property using the String.Split[^] method, that is:

C#

string[] sep = new string[] {"\r\n"};
string[] lines = textBox.Text.Split(sep, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

you get an array of strings, each one corresponding to a different line.

this only works if the original text contains "\r\n". But is it is a long single string without new line characters, multiline textbox still wraps it - how to get wrapped lines in this case?
