# Description

Use the lines keyword to sort or select individual lines.

By default, a line is delimited by return (ASCII 10). However, you can set the lineDelimiter property to any character in order to directly address chunks delimit by that character.

A line is a string of characters delimited by a single return character (or a single one of the lineDelimiter character). A single line can contain multiple characters, multiple words, and multiple items.
