To read line by line of a text area HTML tag with JavaScript, we call split
on the text area’s value
property.
For instance, we write
const textArea = document.getElementById("my-text-area");
const arrayOfLines = textArea.value.split("\n");
to select the text area with getElementById
.
And then we get the text area’s value with the value
attribute.
We call split
with '\n'
to split the value by the line breaks into an array oif lines.
