module Data.String
lines breaks a string up into a list of strings at newline
characters. The resulting strings do not contain newlines.
Note that after splitting the string at newline characters, the last part of the string is considered a line even if it doesn't end with a newline. For example,
>>>lines ""[]
>>>lines "\n"[""]
>>>lines "one"["one"]
>>>lines "one\n"["one"]
>>>lines "one\n\n"["one",""]
>>>lines "one\ntwo"["one","two"]
>>>lines "one\ntwo\n"["one","two"]
Thus contains at least as many elements as newlines in lines ss.
words breaks a string up into a list of words, which were delimited
by white space.
>>>words "Lorem ipsum\ndolor"["Lorem","ipsum","dolor"]
