How to split text in javascript into paragraphs?

Question

I have the following piece of text:

"Hey is some text some text?

You are some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text

My name is some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text"

I need split in into paragraph and get array from 3 element(I have 3 paragraps above)

What have you tried so far? A solution to this should be easily searchable. For starters, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8125709/javascript-how-to-split-newline/8125757 is the first result when searching "javascript split by newline". — WOUNDEDStevenJones, May 17 '21 at 15:24

You could split on CR?LF occurring one or more times:

var input = "Hey is some text some text?\r\n\r\nYou are some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text\r\n\r\nMy name is some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text";
var paragraphs = input.split(/(?:\r?\n)+/);
console.log(paragraphs);

that is quite simple. you use the String.prototype.split function on your string.

You can split it on \n\n.

let text=`Hey is some text some text?

You are some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text

My name is some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text`//declare variable
let split=text.split('\n\n') //split up
//logging every new line:
split.forEach(function(item){console.log(item)})

You could just use split() method and split it by \n\n. \n Means new line, on your text, there is 2 new line, hence we use \n\n.

const text = `Hey is some text some text?

You are some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text

My name is some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text`;

const splittedText = text.split("\n\n");
console.log(splittedText);
