Lets say I have
string str = @"Line 1
Line 2
Line 3";
How can I turn this into an array where the 3 elements are "Line 1", "Line 2" and "Line 3".

use this , The RemoveEmptyEntries option will remove empty lines from the text.
string[] splitted = str.Split(new string[] {System.Environment.NewLine}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

var strArray = str.Split(new [] { "\r\n" }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

That's going to result in blank strings between the
\r and \n characters.

@juharr. Fair enough. Edited to remove empty items.

Note that you now only split on the
\r\n combination where as before you were splitting if there was only a single \r or a single \n. This would now remove blank lines which may or may not be desirable.J. D.
Based on his requirement (that the desired output based on the sample input is three lines), this should suffice. Maybe you should propose an alternate solution...?

No need since this is a clear duplicate.
String.Splitcan help you?var lines = new System.Windows.Forms.TextBox { Text = str }.Lines;
