to split on string need use overload takes array of strings:

string[] lines = thetext.split(new string[] { environment.newline }, stringsplitoptions.none); 

if want handle different types of line breaks in text, can use ability match more 1 string. correctly split on either type of line break, , preserve empty lines , spacing in text:

string[] lines = thetext.split(new string[] { "\r\n", "\n" }, stringsplitoptions.none); 

then doing lines[0] question , lines[1] first answer , on.
