Get the text from textarea line by line?

Question

HTML Code

<textarea id="test"></textarea>
<button id="button_test">Ok</button>

Javascript

  $(document).ready(function()
  {
     $("#test").val("123e2oierhqwpoiefdhqwopidfhjcospid");
  });
 $("#button_test").on("click",function()
      {
      var as=document.getElementById("test").value;
      console.log(as);
      });

We can get the values from textarea line by line using val and split functions. But Is it possible to get the value from textarea line by line for very long word?.In the example i need to get the output as 123e2oierhqwpoiefdhqwo and pidfhjcospid as separate values. Jsfiddle link here

You can use something like this. This will insert line breaks into into the textarea.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#test").val("123e2oierhqwpoiefdhqwopidfhjcospid");
});

$("#button_test").on("click", function() {
    ApplyLineBreaks("test");
    var as = document.getElementById("test").value;
    console.log(as);
});

function ApplyLineBreaks(strTextAreaId) {
    var oTextarea = document.getElementById(strTextAreaId);
    if (oTextarea.wrap) {
        oTextarea.setAttribute("wrap", "off");
    } else {
        oTextarea.setAttribute("wrap", "off");
        var newArea = oTextarea.cloneNode(true);
        newArea.value = oTextarea.value;
        oTextarea.parentNode.replaceChild(newArea, oTextarea);
        oTextarea = newArea;
    }

    var strRawValue = oTextarea.value;
    oTextarea.value = "";
    var nEmptyWidth = oTextarea.scrollWidth;
    var nLastWrappingIndex = -1;
    for (var i = 0; i < strRawValue.length; i++) {
        var curChar = strRawValue.charAt(i);
        if (curChar == ' ' || curChar == '-' || curChar == '+')
            nLastWrappingIndex = i;
        oTextarea.value += curChar;
        if (oTextarea.scrollWidth > nEmptyWidth) {
            var buffer = "";
            if (nLastWrappingIndex >= 0) {
                for (var j = nLastWrappingIndex + 1; j < i; j++)
                    buffer += strRawValue.charAt(j);
                nLastWrappingIndex = -1;
            }
            buffer += curChar;
            oTextarea.value = oTextarea.value.substr(0, oTextarea.value.length - buffer.length);
            oTextarea.value += "\n" + buffer;
        }
    }
    oTextarea.setAttribute("wrap", "");
}
