Im using the appuifw.Text() control to get some input from the user and i want to split the text that i get by lines, meaning, i want to create a list that every object in the list will be a line from the text, so how can i split the text by lines, whats the line break char?
Thanks.

For example:

appuifw.app.body=t=appuifw.Text()
t.clear()
appuifw.app.body=appuifw.Text(u"Line 1" + "\n" + u"Line 2")

"\n" -> new line

If you add text to appuifw.Text(), '\n' is OK.

But I think the original question is "how to get and parse text from appuifw.Text()". Because Unicode paragraph separator (U+2029) is used for line breaking inside appuifw.Text(), you should split the input text by u'\u2029'. Here is a sample script.

import e32
import appuifw

def get_list():
    list = appuifw.app.body.get().split(u'\u2029')
    appuifw.note(unicode(str(list)), 'conf')

lock = e32.Ao_lock()
appuifw.app.body = appuifw.Text()
appuifw.app.menu = [(u'Get List', get_list),
                    (u'Exit', lock.signal)]
appuifw.app.exit_key_handler = lock.signal
lock.wait()

I hope this will help you

@Hiisi yes, it's true, you're right
I wrote how put text to appuifw.Text (not a get) - mea culpa
