Return a list of the lines in the element, breaking at line boundaries in Numpy

To return a list of the lines in the element, breaking at line boundaries, use the numpy.char.splitlines() method in Python Numpy. The 1st parameter is the input array.

The keepends parameter suggests that the Line breaks are not included in the resulting list unless keepends is given and true. The function splitlines() returns an array of list objects.

The numpy.char module provides a set of vectorized string operations for arrays of type numpy.str_ or numpy.bytes_.

Steps

At first, import the required library −

import numpy as np

Create an array −

arr = np.array(["Bella\nCio", "Brad\nPitt", "Katie\nPerry"])

Displaying our array −

print("Array...<br>",arr)

Get the datatype −

print("\nArray datatype...<br>",arr.dtype)

Get the dimensions of the Array −

print("\nArray Dimensions...<br>",arr.ndim)

Get the shape of the Array −

print("\nOur Array Shape...<br>",arr.shape)

Get the number of elements of the Array −

print("\nElements in the Array...<br>",arr.size)

To return a list of the lines in the element, breaking at line boundaries, use the numpy.char.splitlines() method −

print("\nResult...<br>",np.char.splitlines(arr))

Example

import numpy as np

# Create an array
arr = np.array(["Bella\nCio", "Brad\nPitt", "Katie\nPerry"])

# Displaying our Array
print("Array...<br>",arr)

# Get the datatype
print("\nArray datatype...<br>",arr.dtype)

# Get the dimensions of the Array
print("\nArray Dimensions...<br>",arr.ndim)

# Get the shape of the Array
print("\nOur Array Shape...<br>",arr.shape)

# Get the number of elements of the Array
print("\nElements in the Array...<br>",arr.size)

# To return a list of the lines in the element, breaking at line boundaries, use the numpy.char.splitlines() method in Python Numpy
# The 1st parameter is the input array
print("\nResult...<br>",np.char.splitlines(arr))

Output

Array...
['Bella\nCio' 'Brad\nPitt' 'Katie\nPerry']

Array datatype...
<U11

Array Dimensions...
1

Our Array Shape...
(3,)

Elements in the Array...
3

Result...
[list(['Bella', 'Cio']) list(['Brad', 'Pitt']) list(['Katie', 'Perry'])]
