How to split by newline and ignore blank lines using regex?

@elise_daugherty 

You can split by newline and ignore blank lines using the following regex pattern:

1
2
3

(?=
)(?<!^
)

This regex pattern uses a positive lookahead assertion (?= ) to match the newline character, and a negative lookbehind assertion (?<!^ ) to ensure that the newline character is not preceded by another newline character at the beginning of the string. This will effectively ignore blank lines when splitting by newline.
