Alright, so what I’ve got is a gigantic string that looks pretty much like this:

```auto

Data1
Data2

Data3
Data4
Data5

Data6

```

Et cetera…What I’m looking to do is split it based on where line breaks are, so that it returns something like this:

```auto
[data1,data2,,data3,data4,data5,,data6...etc]

```

string.split("  
") doesn’t work, sadly. Anyone know how?
