Read a text file line by line in Swift?

by

Swift 3.0

if let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "TextFile", ofType: "txt") {
    do {
        let data = try String(contentsOfFile: path, encoding: .utf8)
        let myStrings = data.components(separatedBy: .newlines)
        TextView.text = myStrings.joined(separator: ", ")
    } catch {
        print(error)
    }
}

The variable myStrings should be each line of the data.

The code used is from:
Reading file line by line in iOS SDK written in Obj-C and using NSString
