entry1

entry2

entry3

will make an array of {"entry1", "entry2", "entry3"}

So you're just trying to split a string into an array that is delimited with a new line?

If so, this should work:

string temp = webClient.DownloadString(someurl);
string[] lines = temp.Split(new string[] { Environment.NewLine }, StringSplitOptions.None);

Good luck.
